My Parents won't accept my boyfriend

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years now. My family got along with him until his 21st. There was a big family fight (family vs his family) and now my family won’t accept him. We have been living together for the last year. My parents have asked my around their place for dinner but it can only be me that can go around there not him. I won’t stand for that. Now they are requesting that us two and mum and dad to meet to have a chat. But my boyfriend won’t have any of it. He suggested that we send them both an email explaining what happened on that night and try to get our point across to them. The thing is I have always done what parents said and in this situation I am totally against them. What do you think we should do? Is emailing/writing a letter the next best thing? Please help me before I go insane. Thanks

Hi Jason, Well the night of the fight was my boyfriend (Brendan) 21st. It was around midnight that I had asked the music to be turned down a bit because we have elderly people living next door. I was being the good neighbour. Anyways his brothers wouldn’t let me turn the music down ever though the party was at my house. A couple of minutes later Matt (one brother) had his car underneath the house and had turned it on with the loud sub whoofers going - so the music was shaking the house. I ran downstairs and told them turn the music off. Then Mum came down and told them to turn the music off. I have been told that Mum had taken Matt’s crutches (he had a knee reconstruction) to stop him from going anywhere, but Mum tells me that she just held his hands. Both brothers were going off at Mum. I was upstairs when all of this was happening. After it all happened, Mum and Brendan had sat down and tried to talk things through, everyone had a bit of alcohol in their system which doesn’t help. When Mum is angry the “F’s” start flying she has a bit of a temper whereas Brendan like to just talk it through. Thats what happened on that night.

A couple of days later Mum had requested apologies from the boys. They weren’t apologising. Last week Mum had asked me around their place for dinner and I had asked her if Brendan was welcome and she said no. So I told her that I wasn’t going around. Then the next night my brother Wade phoned to ask me around for dinner for his birthday - so I asked him if Brendan was welcome. He too said no. I told him I wasn’t going around there if Brendan wasn’t welcome. We are a couple, we have been for 3 years. Either we go together or I don’t go at all. Apparently Mum and Dad think that Brendan is controlling me - not letting me go around and see them. The thing is it was my decision. I want to go around and talk to them but Brendan won’t come with me. What do you think I should do. Alyssa

Could you elaborate more on what the fight was about, and how was your boyfriend involved in the fight? If I can understand what angle your parents are coming from then i can come up with a solution to fix your problem. ;)
