Hello Dr, I am 24 yrs old and have done love marriage with a Maharashtrian guy against my parent’s wishes. I had taken advice from you couple of times & showed firmness but then too my parents didn’t wished to agree. I informed my parents & got married. It was a big occasion & everyone from my in-laws side where invited. It was done in a traditional way. I invited my parents but they didn’t turn up, neither had they talked with me properly. After marriage I tried to call them & talked with them but they didn’t talk. It has been 6 months now. I’m in US now. I called them again & tried to talk with mom, but again she didn’t talk properly. As of now I think none of my rest of the family knows about it. I am scared how I will face everyone. I want to be bold enough and answer everyone but you know how our narrow-minded gujju society is. Apart from all this I even sometimes scare to talk with my own parents. I don’t know why? My hubby & his family have been behaving very well with me. Also I am very happy marrying to him. I don’t have any kind of problem in his family. Apart from that they take care of me very much. I need your help with my parents. How can I again build the relation? How can they talk with me? How do I stop worrying about all this & settle down the matter? Sometimes I start crying thinking about them. I know that if they would have agreed then all this wouldn’t have happened. Ultimately they should be happy seeing their daughter happy & stop thinking of the stupid society. I would be very grateful again if you help me once more in showing more boldness. Thanks a lot..
