Chemda,
Your letter to your parents made me cry. It's honest, sincere, and authentic. It's also respectful. I had to write one, actually two (parents divorced), just like it 10 years ago when I took my relationship with my partners to the permanent level.
It took my Mom a little while, but she now loves and has accepted my family as hers. My Dad never did and died without us talking. His loss.
It took me a long time to learn that people, even your parents, will treat you the way you allow them to.
Congratulations on your impending nuptials to Lauren. He treats you the way all people should treat you whom claim that they love you.
Amanda
