I'm a 1st generation Korean-American (I got naturalized! YAH!) and when I moved to the States I quickly adapted to the new culture and had no idea that my parents were against me dating non-Koreans. I fought couple times in my teens but I always ended up giving in because I was trying to be the good daughter, always listening to them no matter what. We had a huge fight last year over another person I was dating at the time and I told them why they couldn't just be happy for me because he was making me happy.
My parents are making it known that they don't approve and that they aren't happy. I haven't spoken to them for about 3 days now (I talked to my mom almost everyday before) and I'm not sure what to do. I don't think it's a bad thing standing up for myself for my wonderful boyfriend who makes me happy. It's not like he's bringing me down or making me do bad stuff.
I don't know what I should do about my parents. anyone who went through or is going through the same thing with his/her parents disapproving of interracial relationships?
