Ok, so I'm a lesbian and I've been dating this amazing girl for a little over 3 years now. She is everything to me, I dont know how I ever was happy without her. I love her more than anything and she loves me just as much, if not more. All our friends support us too. But a couple months ago her parents found out we were dating and now they hate her and treat her like shes not a human anymore. They wont let us see each other and theyve made threats my way. I've been so depressed, I have thought about killing myself many times, and so has she, but we need each other. We plan on being together when were both older. Does anyone have any advice on how we can still be close even though we are separated? Or how to cope with losing her and that she is for sure being abused by her parents. Should I tell the police?

sounds like parents who are over reacting to their daugther being gay.Not sure of how old you are as you have marked the 16-17, but surely you guys are not far off of applying to go away to college? Maybe that's your focus for now. Do well at school and both apply away from home to the same college. That way you get to be together away from any parents. As for phoning the police, there's no point because if she will not admit abuse to you, then she won't tell the police so they will not be able to do anything. But it would make her parents worse towards both you and her.

Good luck darling i hope you guys manage to survive this and be together again as you want.

OH, I dont know if it qualifies as abuse I was going to ask actually. They yell at her and tell her shes useless. They made her drop out of every activity she is in, they scream at her and make her afraid to go home. And sometimes if we get caught being associated together she gets beat. She tries to hide it, but Ive seen her dad do it before, but she will deny it if I bring it up. It hurts so much b/c I cant protect her. She deserves to be treated like a human being.

If they are truly abusing her, by all means, YES!

You haven't given much detail as to the extent of the abuse.

What is your definition of the abuse? If it's only the fact that they won't let her see you...that really isn't abuse...it may be hurtful...but not abuse!

Give us more info so we can better understand!
