Where were you?

You can stop seeing him, you just don’t want to. Just remember, if you guys get caught, he is the one who will get in trouble with the law. Do you really want that?
I know, but I’m just saving that as a last resort.. I really want to find something els to do…
Saving what as a last resort? Him getting in trouble with the law?
Without him.. Basically I’m just depressed and sometimes suicidal
No.. Stopping seeing him.. I really don’t want to.. Its so hard and unfair
You need to see someone about your depression. If you can’t be happy with yourself, it’s going to affect your relationships in a negative way.
I can’t, someone will just force me into councling.. AGAIN.. And then I might do something stupid.. Like slit my wrist.. Again
You can’t think of anything els?
the one that you are with is 7 ? and you are 14? I just want to be sure I am reading this correctly.
No, 7 years older, hes 21
Is there really nothing els I can do?
Not that I can think of.
age of consent laws, i guess, are around for a few very specific reasons. But they don’t preclude you from seeing him. Rules and laws are invasive by nature, how can a law always be correct? But jail time and being labeled one who child abuses is a serious threat and must be respected. What are you two doing together?
Alot..
Things would be ok if my dad wasn’t crazy.. I was at him place on tuesday, he found out, he called the cops, and I ran.. Ever since then I’ve been so afraid and worried
Your dad isn’t crazy. He’s just trying to protect you.
Protect me by NEVER letting me see any of my friends? My age or not, girl or guy, for 2 and a half years?
Its not fair because I was molested and nothing happened to him, now I’m with someone a little bit too old who definatly ISN’T using me and seeing him again is already a risk
Some parents are over protective. They do things like that because they care abouth what happens to you and they know there are a lot of bad people out in the world.
( I know the conversation moved on.. but I want to say this anyway)
then consider that your desire for him may be because he knows how to do.. “alot”..and at 14 you may think hes a god to be able to produce (in you) these feelings. Your Dad knows that.
Did you say your dad wont let you see anyone? how does he keep you from your friends?
I live in a small town, I’ve been moved around in schools alot so none of my friends live in the area, I can’t even grab a buss
And its not that he knows how to do “alot” lol. Hes just really sweet.. I like him because hes mature but he can also be really goofy at times
I’m not like most my age, I’m not so foolish
alright. I just felt compelled to bring up the obvious. You do sound mature. and he sounds like quite a find… mature, goofy, and sweet.
He is, thats why I don’t want to let go so easy.. I can’t just stop seeing him.. Hes so special
And I totally type-o-ed my e mail..
If you love him as much as it sounds. You may consider protecting him (from himself and his love for you) and keep your relationship away from the physical until you are “of age”. You sound like you have the strength to do that.
Maybe but.. Without my fathers permission he’ll just call the cops again.. I’m really in a jam
that I dont understand. Call the cops about what?
I don’t know.. I guess cuz he lied about me being at his place.. And I was “Misssing” but still, even if he does know next time, he’ll probably do the same thing
I see why this is so confusing for you. There is just way too much going on. When I get back home Ill check in on this post, I would like to know that you are working things out. Peace hun.
Arghh..
k, Ty for everything
