Q:
Am I wrong? My 22 year old daughter is going to get married to a guy that did not even asked my permission. This already made my mind up about him!
The guy is a South African that has moved abroad. My daughter is finishing her teaching degree. It is difficult to get a work permit for the UK. So I understood that she wanted to go but never ever thought that marriage would become the only option.
I am shocked. Not happy with her choice. My house has become a battle ground between the guys that support her (like her eldest sister) and then me the single parent that feels betrayed.
Well how does the saying goes? The one with the money is the one with power? Well this guy's dad is going to pay for everything. The boyfriend is a good organizer - he will practically fly to South Africa in February - get married and then fly away. I will never be able to see my daughter ...
Really I feel extremely offended by this - its affecting everything, I just want to cry the whole time. I can't study - my whole world is upside down. My mom died this year and it is practically just my dad that I can speak to. I am the only child. He is also sick - I worry so much about him as well. My whole house is in ruins because of this boy who never thinks about anyone except what he wants. And I am not just bad mouthing him. It is the opinion of his friends as well. He is ruthless really. So how can I feel happy about my daughter's decision?
