How do your parents and family feel about your relationship:
My parents are very much in support of the relationship,
my daughter is happy that her mom is happy, finally!
The rest of my family lives out of this area, but have
not expressed any problems with my choice to become interracially involved.
How do your partner's parents and family feel about your relationship:
His mom thinks I'm just fine, she is a dear person who trusts her son to make healthy choices.
Father passed on before we met. Sister is very nice, not resistant to the relationship at all.
Do you feel that where you live the people are accepting of your relationship:
Yes
Do you have any kids and if so how do other kids respond to them:
His children are less accepting than my own, although that may be
because he was married to their mom for 23 years, more than because
I'm white. My daughter was raised in the military, and we had many,
many interracial & mixed race friends, so she is comfortabale in the environment already.
Please feel free to add anything else that you feel is pertinent:
My boyfriend and I met online. We had no idea what race the other was.
When we did meet in person, it was of course one of the first things I noticed about him,
but a non-issue as far as 'will I or won't I' get involved with him.
Once he opened his mouth and began to speak so beautifully and intelligently,
it became obvious to me tha I DEFINATELY would. His skin fits him wonderfully
and is beautiful to behold, but thats just the icing on the cake.....

How do your parents and family feel about your relationship:
At first, my mother was not happy about it. She was afraid
that my reputation would be ruined, and of course her's.
Although she had selfish feelings at first, She grew up
and realized that skin color had nothing to do with it just
like eye color doesnt either. My father, surprisingly,
was not upset about it at all. Now after 2yrs, my boyfriend
is considered apart of my family. Both of my parents love
him very much, as well as I. He even has his own Christmas
ornament on our Christmas tree *sighs* =)
How do your partner's parents and family feel about your relationship:
From day one, they accepted me and our relationship.
We receive alot of support from both of our families.
We are very blessed.

No
Please feel free to add anything else that you feel is pertinent:
He was my bestfriend be for we started dating. So i knew him like
the back of my hand. Gradually as time went by we were hit with
all these feelings for each other that we didnt know ever could
exist for one single person. Both of us scared of how the other
would feel and considering where we live, We kept our feelings
in for a little while. Until one day he hugged me while he was
comforting me over some personal matters, and i knew that i was
in heaven. Being in his huge tight arms made me feel so safe
and i knew that i would always feel safe there. So from then on
out, I FLIRTED and WORKED MY STUFF, until i got him. Every since
then we have been happy and very much in love.

How do your parents and family feel about your relationship:
My parents have always been very supportive. They may have had their reservations but they both agreed
that as long as I was happy that was all that mattered.
How do your partner's parents and family feel about your relationship:
They were completely against our relationship and did everything they could to stop it.
This happened before they even met me and only knew about me. They met me for the first time and
virtually ignored me the entire time. Afterwards due to other unrelated issues they decided to give me a
chance. They have since accepted me but their is still much ignorance that is displayed on their part regarding
me and my race. This is becoming a real problem for me. It's very hard to live in an environment when you have to choose
to speak up or just let it go. I don't feel safe in this environment and I am wondering what kind of problems our
children would have growing up in such an environment when we do finally decide its time to raise a family.
Do you feel that where you live the people are accepting of your relationship:
Yes
Do you have any kids and if so how do other kids respond to them:
No kids yet but I am becoming more concerned about how I am going to raise them in a very narrow minded environment. My husband is very supportive and understanding of my concerns and he also shares the same concerns.
Please feel free to add anything else that you feel is pertinent:
I love my husband. He is my best friend. I know that things aren't always peachy for me. I just hope I can find some way to remedy the situation before it becomes a problem between my Husband and I.

prefer white women. That is fine but not fine for me. My brother is married to
a Romanian and they have 2 kids. I think that people should be with people
that make them happy regardless of the color of their skin.

How do your parents and family feel about your relationship:
They like Ismael fine. His willingness to help out around all
of our houses, as well as work, pay bills, and care for me and
my children, has added to his credibility with my parents, particularly.
One sister is not fond of Mexicans, and still doesn't really accept
it. My dad thought I entered into this relationship too soon after my
last one (2 years, also Mexican), and he was not happy about the new guy.
However, my mom and other sister are supportive.
How do your partner's parents and family feel about your relationship:
They treat me like family; they see me as a good influence on Ismael,
and are happy that he has finally found a woman who will not treat him like dirt.
Do you feel that where you live the people are accepting of your relationship:
Yes
Do you have any kids and if so how do other kids respond to them:
My children are multiracial "white," Puerto Rican, "Native American," and "african-american." They
have had few problems with kids at school, usually easily solved.
I have consciously taught them about the ignorance of others, since
I know how cruel kids can be. They have a pretty good take on whatever "racial" situations pop up.
Please feel free to add anything else that you feel is pertinent:
Race, in the South, is a tricky issue. There are those who hold onto the "old" ways of racism,
prejudice, and discrimination, but there are many, many more who simply don't see what the
big deal is all about anymore. In high school, when I was dating "black" guys almost
exclusively, there was a lot of bullshit I had to put up with, but now that I am
31 the bullshit doesn't bother me anymore, when and if I encounter it. I just keep on
going, and ignore those who can't see that xenophilia is much more liberating that xenophobia.

i have noticed over the past 10 plus years that we have the biggest problems
with african american females. they stare and make rude comments quite a bit.
another problem can be travelling, we are always extra careful when we travel,
especially if it is down south. and thirdly sometimes we think we would
like to move but we are afraid of unsafe areas because of our mixed marriage
Thanks to those who have responded, and I hope to hear from more people.
