Establish own independence from parental approval.(Life-Style)

Byline: Carolyn Hax

DEAR CAROLYN: What do you do when your father and stepmother adamantly refuse any acknowledgment of, or contact with, your significant other, because in their paraphrased words, they think she is wrong for you and therefore refuse to show approval of the relationship?

My girlfriend is wonderful, she is a partner in every way, and I respect, admire and am in love with her. Even if my father/stepmother's objections were what I'd call reasonable - my girlfriend was unkind to them or to me, prone to fits of psychotic rage, into Kenny G - I'd find their boycott to be a far less than mature and reasoned way to handle the situation.
