Sho 'nuff Sorcha! You may not like it, but they're always right! And one definately SHOULD gain the respect and acceptance of a loved one's parents. Being a rebel and a renegade is NOT a good thing. Try to make yourself into a respectable and honorable person. You will never regret it. Arousing other's anger, suspicion, fear, and disrespect is no way to go. Aim to make ALL parties feel comfortable.
