Question - (30 June 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 June 2009)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Im a 33 year old man with a 14 year old son. im gonna get straight to the point. I was single for about a year then I met a beautiful 25 y.o. woman whom now im deeply in love with and she loves me too. now the problem. her parents have such a hold on her they still tell her what to do and make her feel guilty for liking me at all. they only met me one time. they do not want her to be with me they tell her Im too old even though they are exactly the same age difference themselves and they do not like the fact I have a son. she will not stand up to them for what she wants. I feel very afraid that im going to end up dumped because of her parents. I think the reason they dont approve of anyone she likes is that she supports her parents financialy she pays for everything and her parents dont even work. if she falls in love and moves out they lose their free meal ticket. and that pisses me off but i cant say anything because then im bad mouthing her parents and it will piss her off. i dont know what to do im just feeling really upset about it right now and need a little advice. thanks.

speaking as a 25 year old woman myself also with jerks for parents; i would day you need to sit down with her and just, lay it all out. she first needs to realize that her parents are technicaly, controlling her life and not only is it unfair to her but unfair to you as well. she can still be a part of their life and be a loving daughter without all the bs that comes with it. Its not gonna be easy, it wasnt for me, but it is the best thing for the two of you if you want to progress.

citic101 agony auntyou need to win over the "old folks " find out if they like anything apart from watching TV find out what they like and be their "son". You catch more fly with sugar than vinegar
