First, if I am in the wrong board, I am sorry, I have also posted in the interracial relationship boards, and dont know where else to turn,
I am the mother of a teenage daughter who perfers to date black men. She is 18 years old. Although,I hate to admit it, this is not what I wanted for my child. I dont really know why, maybe all the looks and comments that I have seen with interracial relationships. I have come to terms with this, and want only happiness for both of my daughters. The problem is my husband, he is totally against it. My daughter is not allowed to bring any black friends to our home, or around him. He has made it clear that he will not change his beliefs, he feels that this is a sin. If our daughter chooses to end up marrying or become involved in a long-term relationship, he will not be part of it,even if children come along. He will not recognize them as his grandchildren. He says he loves our child, but does not agree with her choices.
I am at my wits end, we have been married 20 years, and although I do not want our marriage to end, I cannot live with a man who can so easily push his own child away because she is not doing what he wanted. I cannot see myself with him another 20 years, and I am the one who maintains contact with our daughter. He will not be there for the important things in her life,i.e.,marriage, children, and so on.
Any advice on this topic is appreciated. I dont know what else to do at this point.

Welcome to the board sickoverit2007,
What an unhappy place to be in.
