[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 582479, member: 1514"] I am quite lost with what half the people on here are advising you. I want to know if I have my facts straight with what has actually happened. You are somewhat unclear in what you typed to begin with so I want to be a bit more blunt. You got divorced from your former wife some time ago but your daughter lived with you at the age of 20. (I think) I am not sure why. You have begun dating a new woman but she is not living with her at this time. At some point in time, your 20 year old daughter accidentally overheard you and your girlfriend making love. For some strange reason this seems to have freaked her out and she ran home to live with her mom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I still cant figure out why all this is a big deal. I am assuming you are divorced from your ex wife. I am assuming you werent hanging from the chandeliers or reenacting 50 shades of Grey in the living room when she walked in. If all these assumptions are true, then there is nothing for you to feel guilty over. Men and woman do have the right to start dating again after divorce (or the death of a spouse). Kids, especially grown kids, have no right to dictate to their parents how to live their lives in this next phase. Parents have a right to be happy again. Kids have to get over. Im sure they have a private life. Or they will and they wont want their parents dictating what they can do. I dont think this original poster is Native American so that doesnt apply and considering I live in an area that is pretty thick with them, I dont think that tradition is carried out much anymore. To the original poster....go forth and have a nice life. Your daughter will come around eventually. It is my opinion is she is trying to manipulate you for some reason that has nothing at all to do with your girlfriend. Your girlfriend is now apart of your life, your daughter can chose to be apart of that life or not. It is her choice. [/QUOTE]
