    My parents didn't like it at all! My mother really freaked out; especially after I got pregnant with my beautiful biracial baby boy! They believed in every streotype like gospel and had a tough time dealing with it!

    Eventually they came to accept it even though it took years! They fell in love with their grandson right away though!

    Yeah it was but it helps that I'm stubborn as hell & had the strength to be true to myself! Interracial relationships are not for the weak!

    Sorry to read about the initial hardships, but glad to hear they love their grandson!

    My mom is in an IR so she's all for it and my fella's mom hates it. lol

    His dad loves me though. :)

    yeah, I believe if there was a research that IR last longer than the other relationships because of the bond bm and ww have. one bonding part is the fact that outsiders try to break you guys up. the other is the historical part of it

    It is a powerful bond that adversity brings. A message that both bm & ww as individuals get from our society is to "stay in our place"; they just don't want that place to be for bm & ww to be together.
