I got engaged to a wonderful, wonderful woman just last month. We had been dating, kind of on the sly, for over a year. Why on the sly? Because she's black.
Her family is very close and loving, and they have completely accepted me. Her mother could very well be my mother. She is the warmest and most compassionate human being I've ever met, and she passed that on to her daughter, which is why I love her so much.
Here's the problem: I finally introduced her to my family. My mom is okay with it, but my father refuses to speak with me, see me, or acknowledge that I exist. I am an only child, and his actions have torn our family apart.
I love my father, but how can I get him to understand that this is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with? How can I change his mind?
