writes:I have always had a great relationship with my parents until now. I am 20 yrs old and they are still treating me like a child. I work part time and go to school part time. I started dating my new bf a few months ago and they dont like him only because of his age. He is 38 yrs old, wonderful to me, he makes me happy, we have fun together and he is sweet. They have tried to ruin our relationship and have made it so hard for us to be together. My father literally got into a fist fight with him and put a restraining order against him. They tell me if I live at home I cant see him. I cant afford to move out and I dont think that this early in our relationship moving in with each other would be a good idea. I dont understand why they cant at least try and get to know him. Reply to this Question

 Yes please shed some light on why he got into a fist fight with your father. I don't think your family will ever like him, maybe it's his age, or his temper, and whatever other details you're leaving out. But as long as your under your parents' roof it's their house, their rules and you have to respect them. Regardless if you are no longer a teenager anymore.

I suspect there is a lot more to this than just his age. Why exactly was the restraining order put against your boyfriend? What happened between him and your father to make it so? Because for your father to do that, something must have gone pretty wrong.
