Why don't my parents let me see my boyfriend?

Ok. So my boyfriend has made some terrible decisons and I can understand where my parents are coming from but I’m 18 and they can’t control me anymore. I’ve been with him for two years and my parents do everything they can to keep us apart. They sent a notice to his house saying that if he contacts me he’ll be sued for 10,000 dollars. What can I do? I still need them for college and health isurance but I love my boyfriend. I mean we plan to get married someday as soon as everything is all straightened out and he comes back home from jail/rehab. What to do…

Answer #1

save yo money an get the hell out their house, you can get a student loan for college, get your own life insurance, get a job, and you can see him anytime you want

Answer #2

You are over 18, they’re not likely to win any lawsuits without your cooperation…

However, your parents seem to have a point here…

If nothing else, why dont you give him the time to straighten out his life… It will keep your parents happy, and he cannot be in a stable relationship while in jail/rehab anyways…

Answer #3

Hm…sounds like your parents are in the right. It IS your life, but if you’re still dependant on them for things then they do have some control. I know it isn’t what you want to hear but by the sounds of it, your boyfriend needs to straighten his life out before starting a new one with you.

Answer #4

I think your right but your parents are right too, if you depend on them they can control you, but then again its your life screw what they say I’ve been there I was with my boyfriend lukasz for two years and my parents did everything they could to keep us apart still we kept dating with them knowning soon after they got over it my boyfriend was not all there either he wasn’t in rehab but should of been he was just messed up becuase his dad died about two months before we started dating and never got over it his family was a mess and so he was not able to fully be in the relationship but you know what I loved him he loved me so we made it work I didn’t care what my parents thought. just follow your heart what to you think is the right choice?… me and lukasz broke up about 8months ago because we couldn’t communicate anymore we just kept fighting and a lot of it did have to do with my parents but you know what we followed our hearts till we were supposed to go our own ways… he was my strength and I picked him up when he fell sometimes even when you love someone a lot and you think your going to make it get married have kid you dont and is hard is till love him but we were just meant to help eachother out in that time we weren’t meant to be together for ever… just follow your heart like I said and if it was meant to be you’ll make it if not life goes on its hard but it does.. so just tell your parents its your life and you know what sit them down and tell them you love him and theres nothing they can do even if they dont want you too see him hes apart of you and by them not liking him they are pushing apart of you away… good luck hun –alexandra–
