My parents want to visit. They want to deliver my grandma's couch. I have been unsuccessful at talking them out of this. I keep suggesting that ben and I can come pick it up, but my mother has been adamant.

So far I've managed to stall for time. They wanted to come at the end of the month or beginning of next month, but I have the book festival that weekend. Followed by the green festival the weekend after that. And then I am going to visit them in florida the weekend after that. So I'm safe for about a month.

Realistically, there is no way my parents don't know about my living situation. I've been here for...2 years? It would be impossible for me to still be staying in a friend's parent's spare room. And besides, they are aware that all my mail goes to ben's address and they only ever call ben's place when they need to reach me. So they must know, right?

If they know, there's not reason to panic. Cause they've had time to get over their murderous feelings. And I have proven them wrong in every way when they told me girls who move in with boys are just being used. (Ben proposed to me about a year ago.) Or that girls who move in with boys end up pregnant. (Clearly I am not.)

I can't shake the pure terror I feel though. What if they somehow don't know and this becomes a shock to them? Doooooom....

::hugs:: realistically they have to know. then again since its not been stated (or so I understand) they could claim 'we had no idea!' as parents sometimes like to do. its a very sticky situation and I remember when you were talking about this waaay back when it first was happening. I wish I had some practical advice, but I've never been in this situation...

Seconded. They MUST know. If they claim not to know, feel free to assume they are lying and trying to make you feel bad about the situation.

A situation, I might add, for which you should feel NO remorse.

I say, anticipate their unreasonable arguments. Plan what you will say, and do not waver from it.

You're a grown woman! They don't control you anymore. You have lived just fine without them for two years!

Yeah, if they claim not to know, point out the obvious.
