What can I do about my mom not liking my boyfriend?

My boyfriend is in the army and he bought me a ticket to see him in Texas and my mom isn’t letting me go because he cheated on me but i gave him another chance and i love him sooo much and she threatened kicking me out of the house if i go. I don’t know what i should do, I’m 19, ill be 20 in November so i think it’s kind of ridiculous not letting me, considering my age….Any Parent advice out there or someone who can help :(

Answer #1

Your mother is just trying to protect you, with that said I don’t agree with what she is doing. You are an adult, let her know that you can go where you please to go and your not a child anymore. You need to make mistakes, not sayin that’s what you would be doing, but you need to live and learn. Good luck with everything, she is wrong though, in my opinion

Answer #2

Tell her to kiss ur ass and go anywayz…she can’t stop luv

Answer #3

Explain to your mom that while you understand where she’s coming from, mistakes happen. Your boyfriend made a really, really bad mistake, but he’s sorry and really is a great guy. Tell her he treats you well and you love him, and tell her why you love him. Remind her that you’re growing up and can make your own decisions, and that this is your chance to prove to her how mature and responsible you can be. Assure your mom that you’d have no problem calling her every day to let her know what’s going on. If you feel like you could get your point across better on paper, write all this as a note. Maybe you could also have your boyfriend call her and say how he’d really appreciate her allowing her daughter to visit him because yadda yadda, and that he’s genuinely sorry yadda yadda. You get the gist. Good luck. :)

Answer #4

If I was your mom I wouldn’t like him either, honestly, but she shouldn’t keep you from seeing him. You’re an adult, you can go if you want to. Maybe this is a sign to move out of your moms house and start getting your life together. You have to make a decision! Good luck!<3

Answer #5

I kinda agree with her. She’s just looking out for you because he cheated on you. But seriously , go see him. She’s deffonitly not going to kick you out ! She’s trying to scare you not to go. Go and have fun, it will prove to her how you really do love him.

Answer #6

No doubt your Mom loves you very much and is trying to look after your best interests….he is going to have to demonstrate he has changed his character for the better…..can’t blame Mom at all…as Dr Phil says: ‘The best predictor of future behavior, is past behavior….

Answer #7

take her aside when shes in a happy mood and tell her what you like about him and if she still feels the same way forget it because shell be more likley not to change her mind later
