I just want to go to sleep and never wake up. These should be the best times of my life...it's the holidays, my birthday is soon, I'm applying to college, and I have an amazing boyfriend who I love and who loves me.

That last one is the problem. My boyfriend is depressed and suicidal. He has a chemical imbalance, so he can't help it. But, he's the most loving, caring guy ever. I love him. When my mom found out that I was talking to him (she didn't know I loved him), she freaked out and got really angry...he lives an hour away from me so she's never met him, and she thinks that he's either playing me and lying to get my attention, or he's a lunatic that's a danger to me. My parents don't understand depression, I guess, and I know for a fact he's neither. So, what they did was, they blocked his number on my cellphone so that I couldn't call or text him, and he couldn't call or text me. So what kind of a relationship is that, only talking on AIM? I love him; I can't just stop talking to him. So I called him a few times from my house phone, and I TOLD my parents about it. I was like "how would you feel if you had a friend who was depressed and suicidal, and relied on you?" But, they didn't understand, and they took it as a lie & going behind their backs, and in my house, when you lie; it's a REALLY bad thing. So now my parents are really upset, and think that I'd ruin our family life for one guy, and they don't trust me at all anymore and may not send me away for college. I don't know what to do. I honestly, sincerely love this guy. I really do. But, whatever I do now, I'll end up hurting SOMEONE I love...whether it's my family, or my boyfriend. I feel like such an awful person that after everything my parents have done for me, I can't let go of him. They're making me choose between them, and I can't do it. I don't know what to do.

You're family doesn't have the right to be doing that to you. Focus on the guy, and things with you and your family will repair itself in time.

They're your family, they are going to love you no matter what you do.

Parents know best cause I had a guy like that and I had to choose I later dumped him and stoped talking to him because it is what I needed it may sem like they are judging but they are right, they want to see you happy not be with somebody who is depressed and suicidal because you are making them scared he will soon lead you down that path if I were you I would take time to myself and decide but don't make any mistakes honey pray that god gives you an answer on what to do
