Always thoughts my parents would be happy for me as long as I was happy, but when they found out that my partner was black, they got very upset saying I had not been respecting my own culture and should have consulted with them before I started dating my partner.
Living in London, you would have more chance to meet people from all over the world and I have fallen in love with this amazing guy, never thought that my parents would be against me. Little did I know my parents were racist which upsetting enough, I was talking about how happy he made me, and how I moved on from my previous stale relationship. They didn't want to know me any more and stopped talking to me all together. You might say that I should've known my parents better, typical Asian mentality that you need to find someone from the same "nationality". Never imagined my parents would be one of those typical Asians..
Now that I'm pregnant, I would love to share the great news but because of the current situation where they have been acting as if they disowned me, I don't know what to do. The hardest thing is that I can't tell my partner why my parents don't want to meet him or speak with him Any advice would be appreciated....
