I'M LEAVING CB AND NOW THIS??!!!, ARRGGHH!!! Options

Talk about bad timing. As you can see in the signature, I'm leaving Createblog for a while.

Well, I'm sure you all know I am engaged. What you probably don't know is that my fiance is 18 years older than me. (I'm 17 years old.) Of course, my friends have accepted it, he really is a wonderful guy and I've been dating him for about 2 years, and Geena adores him to death, it's just that my family doesn't know how old he is yet.

Most of you know that I had Geena when I was just 13, by another man - the man responsible for me leaving CB ( ) - and when I had her, my family basically disowned me. I haven't talked to them since.

BUT....

This morning, guess who calls? My parents. They heard I was getting married, blah blah.

They complained that I have been ignoring them, and why should I? I mean, they only ditched me to be on my own, carrying a baby for 9 months, with no money. [/end sarcasm]

But since they are family, and I haven't seen/talked to them in almost 5 years, I decided to let them meet my fiance. The only thing is, I'm worried what they'll think about him. I mean, as previously stated, he is a GREAT guy and I know because Geena is in love with him ( ), but my family just won't understand.

They still are criticizing, rude and ashamed about me having Gee, but of course, they're family and I admit that I miss them. Sort of.

John (my fiance) is pretty excited to meet them, even though he thinks he knows that I'm uncomfortable about it. He just thinks I'm uncomfortable because I haven't seen them in a while.

I'm really worried about how my family will talk (trust me, gossip in my family gets around, really fast), they'll think that I'm a slut or something, because my fiance and me have such a huge age difference.

I know I shouldn't care, but this is my FAMILY and I don't want them to judge.


If any mod feels this shouldn't be in the Relationship forum, please move it.

Wow Felicia...I just want to give you a hug right now. That really touched me. For I want to give you mad props for raising your baby practically on your own. Now that is what I call a strong woman. That sucks that you parents disowned you over you having a child. Sure you were young but I cant imagine how I would have gotten through if I was in the same situation and my family disowned me. Now to your parents...first allow me a moment to let out some agresssion....

How dare they!! I cant believe that did that and then have to nerve to call you (after what alomst 5 years) and act like its your fault that you have been in contact with them. I really dont think you should be the one to worry about what they think of your fiance at all. You have been through what I think is the worse with them. Getting married is a very exciting time in your life, dont allow them to bring you down. You deserve happiness and to not be judged. Maybe they have changed...I surely would hope so, but if not you need not worry because the simple sad truth is sometimes people never change so there would be no use in you dwelling on fact that they may hate your fiance, or judge you. Sorry this long but that story is so familiar to me (a know two people i went to school with, they got pregnant young, and their families disowned them as well) and it makes me soooooo angry. I really hope all goes well.....
