[Age of Ignorance]

My parents are supportive no matter who I date. They stay far away from my sex/romantic life. They only approach me about it when they can see I'm upset about something, and they allow me to talk it through. Even when they do provide a concern on something (for example, my parents really dislike my girlfriend's dad), I accept it, I work around it and I avoid the issue with them - they don't need the added stress of worrying about their concerns. That being said, whilst I accept their concerns, I can formulate my own opinions and if they align with my parents' perspective, then so be it - but in the end, my opinion trumps theirs with respect to my relationships.
