Parents are stopping me seeing my boyfriend, what can I do?

Question - (5 November 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 12 November 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Me and my boyfriend have been together 6 months and everything was perfect (we're both 17, nearly 18). But now my parents have decided they don't want me to see him anymore and I don't know what to do. I really don't want to split up with him because he makes me really happy but my parents are making it so hard because they won't let me see him. I miss him so much and I really don't know what to do. Any advice?

Not sure how it is in England, but in the states once your are 18 your parents have no say in your life. I would have thought most of Europe the age of majority was the same if not younger.

If you were in the states, I would suggest you tell them calmly that if they don't let you see him before you turn 18, you will move out on your birthday and won't ever see them again, and emphasize that they won't get to meet their grandkids of even know they have grandkids if they choose that option.

Ask if it is really important enough for them to mess up the rest of their lives just to give you a few months of unhappiness.
