Her parents forbid her from seeing me!

[Teen]

Hello everyone, Im 18 years old and me and my girlfriend have a big problem and i would appreciate your opinions.
i think i should start from the very begining (sorry guys this might be long lol). I met my girlfriend when i was 13 years old, we were in middle school and i knew she liked me so i asked her out to the 8th grade dance. her parents have never let her have a boyfriend and they never let her go out. anyways at the dance i decided to ask her to be my girlfriend (she had rejected like 8 guys that year) so i asked her and she said yes! both me and her could'nt believe it and we shared a magical kiss (it was our first kiss for both of us) so from that day on we were seeing each other as boyfriend and girlfriend (hiding it from her parents of course). middle school ended and we were going on to highschool, i began calling her house during the break almost every day. i would go knock on her door and ask for her, i introduced myself to her parents as a her friend and pretty soon me talking to her and seeing her became a routine thing. her dad offered me a job during the summer break, they owned a barber shop and wanted someone to hold signs up for them, of course i took the job and the great part about it was that she would help me hold the signs so we would spend hours talking. summer break ended, the job ended, and our freshmen year began. me and were inseperable, we did everything together at school, but the i guess the whole highschool scene got to us both, she found out she was beautifull and began flirting with the football jocks and i would get really jelous and cus them out. she would get mad and we would argue over that all the time, she stopped flirting but guys would hit on her nonstop and i would get really jelous. it got to the point were we both couldnt take it anymore and we broke up, during the break up i made the stupid mistake of telling her that i cheated on her (but it wasnt true, i was just hurt and wanted to get back at her). she told her parents and ofcourse who wants to see thier daughter crying and heartbroken? me and her split ways and for two years we NEVER talked to each other, NOT ONE WORD, i turned into a delinquent, i began drinking, doing drugs, fighting, stealing, hangin out with gangs, selling, etc... living the "thug life" i guess. she turned christian and was into her church alot.

one day during my summer break going into Junior year of high school i just randomly picked up my phone check the time, and marked on the screen were the first 5 numbers of her cell phone and i automaticly remembered her number, i began texting her and im not going to lie all the feelings i once had came back to me and we began texting every day to eachother. her parents hated the idea of us talking again so they would tell her to stop and her being very religous and respectfull would listen. our whole junior year i would call the barber shop where she worked when her mom wasnt there and we would talk for hours and hours until closing time, senior year began and we started talking wayy more she began to change who i was, she made me realize what i was doing was wrong, i stopped doing drugs, i stopped stealing, i stopped breaking the law, and i felt good about it. i began to fall in love with her all over again but this time it was like something ive never felt before, i would tell her i loved her but she would tell me she had strong feelings for me but couldnt tell me she loved me. one day i surprised visited her house and knocked on the door, she answered and told me no one was home and that i should go, i was turning to leave but then she kissed me ( that was the first kiss that we shared since our break up freshmen year) and we began to kiss more and more and she began telling me that she has always loved me, we were lost in our own world and didnt even notice her parents pulling in to the driveway..her dad schased me down the street and told me he would break my face if he ever saw me again, her parents forbade her from talking to me and for the first time she disobeyed, she would call me when they werent home and we would talk for only minutes. i began visiting her at her salon when her parents werent there but that only lasted a couple weeks, her dad caught me there and he really told me off then. they took away every privelege she had and told her to never see me again, she still disobeyed and she would call me maybe once a week in secret of course everytime we talked we would both cry because we loved eachother soo much but her parents wouldnt let us be. shes been having more time alone lately and we've been talking more and i want to try and be accepted by her parents but they completley HATE me they want nothing to do with me. they give her crap about me everyday and they dont know we are still talking they think she hasnt talked to me since the incident soo if i went up to them and told them i want to see their daughter she would get in even more trouble.

I dont know what to do, i want her parents to let us be but it looks like its never going to happen. i love her with all my heart and i want to be with her forever, im just about ready to go to her house and tell her to runaway with me. please i need ideas on how to win over her parents orr some advice on what to do in my situation, i hope you guys can help. thank ypu

It is understandable why her parents dislike you base on your history. You hurt their daughter, you went through a thug phase. I mean if I was her parent I would threaten you with a shot gun. So if you want to win their parents over. It is by proving to them you are a change man. One of the thing parents look for is what you do with your life. So if you make something of your life, go to college, get good grades, and get a good job and show responsibility at least they will start to think of you differently. Be respectful to them when you see them. Even if they dislike you, you can win them over by not fighting hate with hate but love. It will take a long time to gain their trust, and actions speaks louder than words. Even if their opinion of you never change and think you are not worthy of their daughter, it's ok. They just don't want to see their daughter hurt again. And if you make her happy for the rest of her life, that's really all they want. So it comes down to always be respectful to them, make something of your life, stay away from bad crowds, and never hurt their daughter. I'm sure they will come around.
