I've been with my girlfriend for 6 months now. She's my first gf, but not my first experience with a girl. I have never been so happy and I have never been so much in love before. Everything would be perfect if it weren't for my parents. My mom has threatened of disowning me and she just refuses to accept our relationship. She says that my gf's just "manipulating" me and keeps saying that "being gay is contagious." It really bothers me, especially since I have to sneak around to see my gf. I love her, and I really want this to last. I know it can, but I'm afraid that my parents anger will affect our relationship. At first I kept telling my mom that she was just my friend, but when my mom finally met her, she realized what she was, because of her appearance. I never really actually told my mom that we are together, but shen she thought about how much time we spend together and all the sleepovers I've had at her house, she went ahead and assumed a relationship between us. I really think it would be better if I went ahead and told my parents everything, like how long we've been together and how much I love her, but I really need some advise on how to do this. They reufse to listen to it, because they keep saying that I don't know any better, and they yell a lot, which makes it hard for me to speak. If anyone has any advise, I'd be happy to hear it. thanks for your time.

Hey 'Peach.... It's a hard situation that you are in. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? Are you "of age"? How old is your gf? The age thing matters is you are still living at home and if your parents decide to get ugly about it. Honesty is the best policy, always. But it can also cause a lot of trouble. I think you have to be prepared for the trouble and willing to accept whatever your parents will dish out (the silent treatment, dis-owning, demanding that you don't see her, kicking you out (if applicable), demanding that you "get help" for "it".... all that and more is waiting behind unsupportive parents, unfortunately. I say "accept" in the "pre-pared for" sort of way. No one deserves for their parent to be close-minded. Please feel free to email me off list, if you would like. Carys
