Hi guys I'm 21 years old and my (ex-)girlfriend is 16. She doesn't have the strenght to go against her parents thoughts yet...And she lives with them. Plus, here in Brazil you're only responsible by your acts when you're 18. I know her for 3 years now (as a friend) and started to get more envolved to her within the past year. We've been together for somewhat 1 month than she talked to her parents and it all came crashing down. Its been 4 months since we last kissed, I sent her flowers yesterday but she acted like I had sent her a brownie. The worst thing is: she says that she still loves me so much but that shes acting like this for Jehovah. That makes it a billion times harder to forget her and let go (knowing that she loves me). That's pretty sad. As I read on Dansk's thread, I also lost my apetite and I can't sleep at night (and when I do, surprise: nightmares about her leaving me forever). So thats pretty much a constant thought in my head. Yes, I think her parents really judge me, to say the least, unfairly. I'm responsible with my life and even though I'm young I happen to take care of my family as my father's got a severe disease. They know that. Thank you SO MUCH for helping me go through this dark moment in my life. Daniel

Hello friends, my name is Daniel, I was baptized a Catholic a few months after I was born but I don't practice. I'm having personal problems and I'd like you to give me some insight. I'm in love with a wonderful devoting girl who happens to be a Jehovah Witness. Though she is also in love with me, her parents claim that she couldn't ever have a relationship with me, even though I have a deep respect for her beliefs and agree with all JW moral's behavior and orientation -- as I'm a conservative person as well. They know me pretty well and I'm assured they do know I'm a good person, but the fact that I'm not a JW seals it all. I'm even studying Watchtower's material (she sent me some), but that isn't helping at all. Not with her parents, not with finding an explanation to it. Even though we couldn't date or see each other, we still talked often because our love is real and pure, and we can't stand living without each other. That was my little shine of hope, until her parents also prohibed her from maintaining often contact with me AND from showing any demonstration of love towards me. That made me pretty sad and depressed. More than that, that made me lose interest from reading JW's material, cause I felt really hurt. I am deeply sad with all my heart and crying a lot for the last few days, because I know she's the love of my life and I'm watching her go away. I heard about false Gods and I'm a true God seeker and believer. I always tell her to stay loyal to God and to her parents. I'd like to know your oppinion about that, if you would. Do you think its right? Thank you for your attention. Best regards, Daniel
