- Dear DoubleTake,I have a really big problem.I'm a single mother to a special need child. My boyfriend and I had been living together for a year and a half when, because of stress in our individual lives, he moved out. After four months, we've reconciled and he is slowly moving back in.The problem is that my parents do not care for him at all. They think I can do better.My daughter adores him and he is wonderful with her. I'm totally in love with him, and when we're together it feels right.My parents think that he's beneath me since he has only a high school diploma and a criminal record -- from 13 years ago.He's turned his life completely around and has a good job. He's a good man who made a bad choice a long time ago. They think I never should have taken him back.Now, they don't want to come visit me if he's going to be around. They live 200 miles from me, and I'm 33 years old. How do I handle them? My mother wants me to get rid of him, but I love him. What do I do?
