The biggest secret I have kept from my parents was not telling them I had started dating him when I was 14. But I told them a couple months ago.My mother and father were fine with it. Now, my mother won't let me see him at all. She watches everything I do. And when I go somewhere - like orchestra rehearsal - she demands to know where I'm going. And she knows I have rehearsal every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Do you, at least, have an idea about what's going on? Reply to this Question

I think that although they may seem okay with you dating him, they probably are extremely nervous about it. The age differnce is probably something they worry about, and maybe also wondering what else you haven't told them about either.
I suggest you have a talk with her and try to get her to explain how she's feeling too. If you want to be treated like an adult, having an adult conversation with them will help things move along.

 I have a feeling it's because you have kept that secret from them and now they don't trust you. They may have said they were fine with it, but now they might be worrying that you are doing stuff with him and will end up pregnant and him running away.. There is a lot of reasons why they could be acting that way, but my guess is that you lost their trust because you lied to them by keeping your relationship a secret not to mention that you are dating someone 10 years older than you as a minor.
