< I am a Christian and I am a mother >Hello all. I am a 36 year old married mother of three boys. I have my degree in Forensic psychology and business management- human resources, I work in social services while juggling my three children and a marriage. When I originally joined this community I was excited to get back into what I love and that is helping people through listening, understanding, and guidance. However I quickly found that through my desire to help others, others are helping me. I have found my advice column beyond rewarding. I have found myself getting extremely passionate about each and every question that I read and respond to. The more the questions the greater the connection I have found between people of all walks of life, ages groups, races, gender, and religion. What I have found to be our greatest bind is love. Love for others and the love of being loved.

Hi, I'm 19/F. I'm deeply in love with my boyfriend of almost 2 years now but our relationship has been kind of private due to my parents. They are not allowing me to start dating until I get at least a bachelors degree but I love my boyfriends so much. He wants me to tell my parents about us so do I but I'm scared that they'll get mad and start drama. His mother knows about us and I just want to be able to tell my parents about anything. What should I do?
Don\'t tell your parents until you are ready. Their reactions to what you say is something only you have to deal with not your boyfriend so while he wants you to tell your parents it\'s not him who will suffer the consequences. Although you are an adult as long as they are providing for you financially they will continue with their expectations. They only want Whats best for you. As most parents they just want to shield you from aanything that might have negative consequences. If you are content with your relationship and are able to maintain the relationship without disclosing it to your parents then why say anything and upset them. Now if you are constantly having to sneak around and fear getting caught living in edge every moment of your life then it just might be easier to tell your parents. If you are at the point where you are fed up and just want them to know I think you should make sure your grades are up and that you are doing well in every other area of life so that when you tell them they can see that being in the relationship is not interfering with your studies or other life goals. However if your desire to tell them is based solely on pressure from your boyfriend then I would hold off and take more time to decide if this is something you truly want to do.
(Rating: 5) I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to reply in such a prompt manner. Most people would just give me a sentence or two and leave it as that. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!
