Hey Ladies,

Here’s my story, let me know you thoughts and what I should do next.

I’m a 22 year old female with really controlling parents. I live at home, and am a full time college student.

Met my boyfriend in January, started things off quite fast, we just clicked. We shared the same personality and just got one another. He is perfect. We never fight, and when we do it’s about my parents. He is so understanding and is always going to fight for no matter the outcome of the situation below.

After a month or two of hanging out we took things to the next level and decided to start dating. He was my first real, committed boyfriend. I brought him home parents met him and all seemed to be great. I wasn’t very open with my parents about the way I felt about him because they have a history of controlling my life and interfering with my decisions. After about 2.5 months of dating we hit our first road block where my parents were not happy that I was out seeing him so much. I was banned from his apartment and had a tracker out on my phone. We continued to see each other until my parents told me that I had to make the decision to either see him and live with the consequences or chose them (my parents) they began voicing their opinions that he was not right for me, I could do so much better, i was being manipulated by him, he was messing with my educational goals, my mind was being flogged with negative thoughts and thoughts that he was pushing me away from my parents. I tried to stand my ground and fight for what I wanted.

I made my parents believe that we were over and things went back to normal, recently he called me and my mom saw the name come up. She was hurt that I was still talking to him and lied to them for so long. I tried to explain that I don’t want to break up with him. I love him and I feel that he is right for me. Both parents stepped in and told me that if I don’t break things off, I have to leave and chose him, they are going to cut me off financially and I would need to find my way around. I was hurt by this.... how could my parents be kicking me out for loving someone who they didn’t approve of?

I really just don’t know what to do I really do love him and see a great future with him. I also really love my family and want them to be happy for me, and trust my decisions.

As long as I am with him we (as a family) will continue to fight every week. I am just not emotionally ready for that.

Please leave your comments down below on what you think I should do about this situation.

Thank you in advance
