My mom doesn't understand


Question Posted Monday July 7 2008, 3:42 am

I'm 16 years old and I've been dating this guy for a little bit over a month already. I really like him. You can say that I love him, but my mom doesn't want me to be with him at all. She doesn't want me to be close to him. She's threating me saying that she's going to block the internet and the phone. And also that in school she is going to get a restraining order and ask that we don't have any classes together. He's a year younger than me. Which worried me at first, but now I don't even think about it. And my mom got mad and started yelling at me that he's too young for me. She doesn't like him at all. She also hates the fact that we're from Dominican Republic and he's Colombian. He hasn't done anything wrong to her. The only thing that he ever did was want to fight a guy because he called me a b*tch. My mom and I started fighting about it and I mentioned that he never did anything wrong and she brought that up. And I defended him saying that at least, unlike her, he wanted to defend me. And she told me to my face that she would NEVER defend me. She is intending to break us apart, but that is the last thing that I want. I don't want to leave him because I like him too much. And he likes me a lot too. In my opinion, I think she's still hurting because I broke up with my previous boyfriend 4 months ago. And she really likes him. She treats him like her son. And it's causing her pain that I'm not with him. What can I do about this? What can make her understand what I feel about my current boyfriend?

Best thing I can think of for you to do is the mature thing- Sit down and talk to her about it. Don't get all angry when you do. Just explain how you feel, and LISTEN to how she feels. You have to listen to her if you want her to listen to you.
Make sense?

okay let me get this straight you are dating some one that your mom doesnt like , and she liked the prevois guy . wait a min , who is dating him you or her its your life , but if you want my advice tell her how you feel toward him , if that doesnt work tell her that after 2 year you well be off for college & you will still love him and then you are going to be together again and instead of think of your mother as your friend , you know almost , you would think about her as a person that wants to ruin you love life . then I think that she would notice that what she is doing is wrong .
and remmember if you are ment to be with that guy nothng would stop you both no thing
good luck
I hope that I helped you
mail me if I works out
