DEAR ABBY: Do you think it is right that my parents disowned me because I'm seeing a guy they don't like? I don't think it is. I'm 25, and I live on my own with my son. -- NOT RIGHT IN WASHINGTON
DEAR NOT RIGHT: Not knowing the guy or your parents' reason for disliking him, I can only suggest that their reaction seems extreme. By age 25 you should be mature enough to decide something like this without being emotionally blackmailed. Please recognize that if you give in to this, they will be making your decisions for you until they are no longer on this side of the sod.
Story of my life, my dad also disowned me because of my DH, he didn't appreciate our age difference. Funnily enough he is now dating a girl at work who is my age. Still won't have anything to do with me though.

There isn't enough information in the letter.

Yes, I bet there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. WHY don't they like him. Is he a deadbeat? Married? A gang member? A felon? Or do they just not like him?

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
I'd like to know also what the letter writer means by "disowned". Is this a "We don't like him, and we don't want him in our house, so don't come over if you are going to bring him." Or is it literally, "you are dead to me", kind of thing.
I mean, if they don't like him, they have the right to state their opinion and not invite him to be part of their lives.
This letter should never have been printed. It tells us nothing.
