  Over-protective parent?

  by GrownMidget in

  i was something like 20-21 and there was this young sister, maybe 16 who i happened to like back in the day ... uh oh ...we met in the summer convention because i made the first move while she was playing board games with her friend.

  we kept in touch via skype and text messages because lived kinda far from each other.

  eventually her mother heard of the stuff and said to her daughter that the chatting must stop.... well, when two people have a little crush on one another, it sure doesn't.

  You still didn't answer the question. How old is she and how old are you?

  Dont think the parents sound overprotective at all. They sound legitimately concerned as would I.

  Honestly, this is creeping me out a bit.... If you were 20 and she was 17, I'd still be hesitant.

  Their brain isn't fully developed at this point still. There's a reason why under 18 is jail bate.

  many here whom have read my previous posts know more or less my situation.

  wife is not hardcore but we still bump heads from time to time.

  if it wasn't for this cult, and while it was not an issue, we had an almost perfect marriage.

  chastise them every time they turn their heads away from the bible or the platform.

  
  

  This is the type of stuff you should bring up in therapy... It's very controlling behavior...

  The moment I utter my first words all four of my mates raise their heads to reveal polo mints in their eyes.

  Aprostate - I took that to mean she was trying to extend him an olive branch. Like she was trying to meet him halfway in his thinking and that she was "normal"...

  It was always the rule in our house that since there was a disagreement between us, it would be left up to the kids to decide if they want to go.

  Theres been times when my older daughter (6 years old) has wanted to go. It's always been their choice and I've respected that.

  They no longer want to go and their dad respects that.

  Maybe it's crazy to leave that up to the kids but it's worked for us. Keeps the peace and it's taught our kids to use their critical thinking abilities. I've seen my older one weigh different things in her mind many times and come to very thoughtful, mature decisions.

  One thing I've noticed with me is that words and actions of my kids father were completely different.

  Start taking notes of the actual actions.

  For example, guilt trips over not going to meetings, whatever.

  Instead of going over feelings so much with the therapist, go into examples of what is going on.

  You just started therapy. I'd give it a bit more time before throwing in the towel...
