Christmas
Well, Jeremy is alone for this holiday too. I really wish the people I love could understand what I am going through right now. I called my cousin who has also had problems dealing with our family in her relationships, and I felt like she knew exactly what I was going through. I thought that for a second today my sister got it, but then I mentioned something about our parents not liking Jeremy because he is black, and she told me that is NOT the reason. Ok then what is? She hasn't sat through hours upon hours of my parents together and individually telling me they don't want me with a black guy. She thinks my parents are the best people ever, and they love her white boyfriend of 3 1/2 years. And good for her, I don't want to rain on her parade.
I know he is more alone than I am....but I feel lonely even around all these people.

I feel you! Of course your sister would not understand..she only sees what she wants to. If she opened her eyes and \"allowed\" herself to look at your parents for what they are and not what she wants them to be, then she\'ll quickly notice what you feel. IT IS bc your boyfriend is black that your parents are against you. Ask yourself one question, if your bf was white, would he be alone at college?
see, i really dont know. No one in my family has dated anyone that doesn\'t live around the area my family does. Therefore, no boyfriends have had to be invited to stay over in the house. They also think it is some sort of \"red flag\" that he doesn\'t always spend time with his family on these holidays. Like he is supposed to fly out to NC or CA all the time. Whatever.
ok, but ask yourself this, even if he lived near your area, would he be around to visit?
