Question - (21 September 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 26 September 2010)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I'm in a complicated situation.

When I was 11, My parents passed away in a car crash and their best friends took me and my sister.

Their best friends have three boys.

One of their boys is about a year and half older than me (I'm now 16), And I have romantic feelings for him, And he has said he feels the same way.

I don't know if I should act on these feelings or not, Because we do live in the same house and his parents have raised me for five years.

What should I do?

My Dear young lady, you are dealing with very strong emotions.

Is it possible to talk to the 'mother' of the house?

Sometimes what seems like a huge, impassable obstacle can turn out to be manageable. You wouldn't be doing anything illegal or morally wrong if you pursued a romance with this guy but if you act in secrecy people will feel hurt.

Your foster parents may already be aware of a chemistry between you and their son even if they've never mentioned it. I'm all for naming the elephant in the room and getting things out in the open, give them a chance to have an opinion and perhaps they will be more understanding than you imagined.

I wish you all the best, C.

Oh boy, leave this alone. At least till you are 18 and a proper adult. These kind people raised you up, don't cause them trouble by starting a romantic relationship right under their house with their son. They can and should kick you out if you cannot control yourself.

There is nothing either legally or morally wrong. You are not related to any of these people in any way.
