Sorry about your father. You are an adult now and you're following a dream. While it may be stressful, don't let him stop you. Did I tell you about my father? He's intimidating and I hated him for most of my life. When I was 15 I finally stood up to him and refused to back down. I stated my position with everything to lose and finally got peace of mind. Maybe you should be honest with him? Or are you sparing that honesty because there's too much to risk? Is it better to creep through shadow while it directly benefits you?

Wish I could say something to make you feel better.

Beleive me dealing with a parent like that isnt fun...but they cant stop you from growing up. Despite what he thinks you have your own choices to make and one day you will have the freedom to not deal with that stress in your life. Im not bad mouthing you father (mostly b/c ive never met him) but everyone goes threw a clash in personalites every once in a while.

Okay, I've heard about this situtation before...

Now, remember, this is my opinion.

The parents must learn to let go, their child has grown up. It is my belief that life isn't valuable if you can't live it to the best of your ability. What the husband wants is probably what I would go with. Which would someone prefer to live: A life of nothing but suffering and pain, or one in which the pain and suffering is quick and harsh, then ends in an instant? Personally, I'd take the second option.

Life is only as valuable as you make it.

*HUGE HUG*

Oh dear I know what you're going through, I got lectured by my grandma today about that. She hates the fact that I want to marry a non-Mexican guy and all that. It was horrible! I can talk to you about it later hun. *HUGE HUG,* don't worry I know you love you dad, as much as I love my family, but in the end I'm going to go against their wishes in order to be happy. If my family can't understand that, well I'm sorry, but I won't hold back and sit around and do every single thing they want. This is my life and yours too to live, so smile and be strong, you know you can always count on me.

I don't know how you feel because I don't have parents like that, and feel bad for anyone that does..but no matter what you have my support all the way :o)
