I am an adult and have been dating an amazing man for about a month. I very much want to persue the relationship but our family backgrounds are extremely different and I know that my father, who I've always wanted to make proud, would not approve. I am upper middle class white from the East Coast. My guy is from a middle class Jamacain family. My family is about being prim and proper, ie: Cheney's Daughter is an embarrasment because she is a lesbian.....so she's basically not allowed to be happy - My guy's family is about love and fun and acceptance and harmony and joy. But I do not want to lose my family, especially since I already have an 11yo who is very close to them. So, it's not just about me making me happy, my son would lose his Grandfather. Screw the rest of them. Our true colors are on the inside. That's what matters to me.

ok, very odd, my mom was in the same exact situation... her mom ended up leaving because she was so angry, and didn't talk for awhile, eventually she came around, and your family should accept your decision and respect it if they want you to be happy.

like you said,you are an adult,and you are capable of making mature decisions for you and your son,and since your family has your best interest at heart,they should be able to accept your decision and trust your judgment! if that is not the case,you simply have to show your family that you are happy,if they are having trouble realizing that for themselves,best of luck to you both!

As an entire, my kinfolk has very racist inclinations, different than for a number of my cousins, my sister, and my father.My mom is the only guy or woman who quite cares. She acts like she isn't racist, yet i've got heard her say terrible issues approximately my dad, my uncle, and others when you consider that they do no longer "stick to their very very own sort" as she says.
