reader, anonymous, writes (10 July 2006): Know that your parents love and want what is best for you. Being that they have years of life experiences; they may just know what is indeed best for you.
They do not want to see you hurt. They do not wish to see you sad. They want to see you happy. They want you to succeed.
Did they give you reasons as to why you shouldn't date him?
Does this man in anyway, prevent you from having true, lasting happiness?
I don't think going against what your parents have to say will lead to happiness. I'm not talking about the few weeks or months of happiness; but can you see years down the road?
Your parents can. Do you believe what they have to say; that there is wisdome behind this advice?
If the answer is no then you need to work on your relationship and trust in your parents first before you decide to have any other relationships. The relationship with your parents; if good will also dictate your relationships with others.
Running to someone in hopes they can make you happy is never the answer.
Find happiness in you first.
I know it is hard to try and see things from your parents side of things; do this first and then maybe they can start to see things from your side.
Trust in your family and love them above all else.
