DEAR DEIDRE: I
INTRODUCED the woman I love to my parents but they won’t accept her because she
is older than me and divorced with two kids.
I am 30, she is 42. I love her and the sex is amazing. Her
husband walked out when their youngest was born and she’s coped alone ever
since.
My mother says I shouldn’t get involved with someone who has
baggage. She says I’d be taking on a lot of trouble and should find someone who
is free.
I love this woman and am becoming increasingly fond of her
children – a boy and a girl. But I don’t like to alienate my family either.
DEIDRE SAYS: You
are very much an adult and it is not your parents’ place to select your life
partner for you. You know you won’t have a totally carefree life with this
girlfriend.
You will be taking on a lot of responsibility and will have
to fit in with her life, as will she with yours.
If you love one another and want to be together, you can
make it work.
Tell your parents this firmly and without sounding
apologetic. If they have any sense, they should come to accept your decision.
