<a href="/users/1635/leeroy/">@leeroy</a> - Thank you for my explaining my response, good translation!!!

yeah, that's actually one of the best answers. No offense to everyone who answered. Thank you. :)
Yes let me translate, Once you are married you should grow closer to your partner, and move out of your parents home to build a family of your own. No one should come between you, your parents should still be respected, but your partner should be more important or you should stick together in your decisions.

Thankfully I have parents who, once I became an adult, respected I was an adult and able to make my own decisions in life. They would NEVER give me an "us or them" ultimatum. They always understood that controlling love is not a good love, it's not even love. I was blessed with good parents. (I use "was" because my father died 2 years ago) I still have my mom and she's still here for advice but never gives me her personal opinion unless I ask for it. Through mistakes, we learn. She lets me (all my siblings) learn and is there for us if we fail and need advice. That is unconditional love.

That's a good question but I would have to say that my parents gave me the best of their life and dedicated 18 years to loving and raising me.I owe them my life so I would choose them first, but in saying that I know they would never ask me to be in that position.In many cases these days relationships come and go but family are always there(for me anyways, I am lucky). I would also say in the same note that if your partner really loves you he/she would never ask you to choose either.

Wow,to choose would be wrong,I love my parents,there always there when I need them,they are my strength,although I am an adult with my own family,when I'm confused, hurt or angry I run to the phone for my moms advice,,my mom doesn't hesitate to give her opinions,but I respect that about her because I will definitely voice mine,but if she asked me to leave my husband I wouldn't listen,but to choose is a choice I don't think I could make,I love them all so much,and I need them all in my life.

Well username I am on warfarin and my blood is still thicker than water. Chemlover what is a "significant other" a bed buddy? a wife? a dog? a cat? significant other what? Remember KISS keep it simple stupid. No offence intended
Thanks chemlover, knew what you meant but I prefer people say what they mean and not use strange expressions.
uh, peoplelover I think your making it too complicated. I meant your significant other in your life. Boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife ect.

Anyway, now that he is out of jail and we are working on a relationship (he really has changed so much), my parents are keeping my children from me. I have full custody of both kids. They said they would disown me if I go back with him...They said if I try to take my kids from them they will fight me to the death in court...But I love him..with all my heart. I do not want to pick a man over my children but at the same time I do not want to be told what I can and cant do. Im 32 years old and have been living by their terms my entire life. I love my parents very very much but I feel like its time for me to take a stand.

If you don't know, then perhaps you have not chosen wisely. Thin ice here.
I knew without a doubt that my blind date of fifty years ago was immediate and true love. Love is overwhelming and if honorable, there will be no room for having to choose between parents and spouse.
