writes:My ex-boyfriend and I recently decided to get back together and I don't know how to break the news to my parents (who I still live with).Back story: He is my first and only love and I am his. We were together for about two years but had a very bad break up due to depression, distance (I was away at school at the time) and unplanned pregnancy (we were in no position to go through with it at the time so...). I chose to leave him and we didn't have any contact for a bit over a year until I msged him out of the blue to just talk and poof! it was like the good old times.Since then (2 months ago) we've talked about our issues and only a week ago decided to officially be together. We've also talked about seeing a counselor for my depression issues which have been a lot better and our relationship is better than ever (though I know it's still too early to know anything for sure) though not perfect but we actively try to work on our issues.I love him and he loves me and we both think it's worth working at our relationship.However, I've been keeping this a secret from my parents and they have no idea that I've even talked to him. We're not really close but they care about me and know that I was in really bad shape mentally for a lot of reasons after we broke up and I want to tell them we're together again but I don't know how. Would it be a good idea to have him with me when I do?

 I think it may be a good idea for support if nothing else, myself and my husband went through something similar when we had been together a year and we decided to get back together after a few months. We were both young and I think the split made us grow up abit and see things differently, we had everyone against us and my parents would not talk to him for months at first said it would not work but hey 17 years later two children and so happy and in love. Im glad I went with my heart you do the same your parents will come round.
Take care xx
