(I have posted this before, but I need more details and advice. This is revised.)
I have been with my boyfriend for about three months now. Of course, my mom doesn't know. Only because my past two relationships have ended badly and she doesn't want me dating because she doesn't want to deal with the breakup depression I go through. That, and I'm very emotional with guys. I am grateful that she wants me safe, but I'm grown now. She can't keep me safe forever.
Yesterday she told me she found out. I was talking to my friend on the phone outside, and my mom asked what I was talking about. I told her I would tell her if I wanted her to know. And my mom said, "You didn't tell me you and Semaj were dating." I told her we aren't and we're just close friends. Now, I know what you are saying. I shouldn't keep secrets from my mom. I understand that.
My mom didn't seem angry or upset when she supposedly found out, but I am a little anxious. My family members have also asked. They ask how my boyfriend is, and such things as that. I never know what to say.
I say that he's not my boyfriend, but now that everyone knows I want to speak out. Still, I wonder why my parents aren't so concerned. Nobody has protested against it, but why not?
Any ideas why? Thanks.

Its like they want you to grow but also worry about the pain they may see you go through in fear for you and your well being. talk to your family and let them know you appreciate their concern and still want them around when you are hurt because that's what life is all about. Growing up and finding the right person while your family supports you and loves you no matter what. also, think of it this same way when facing a break up. Your one person closer to the guy you may end up with. Learn to deal with it and not sooooo dramatically around them. [ cadust27's advice column | Ask cadust27 A Question ]
