Dear Ophelia,

So a price says he loves you, but your father and brother hate him and they told you to stay away from him? Now that is quite a conundrum you are dealing with. Family members like to make precipitous decisions without hearing your own input, so I understand. They don't always mean to be churlish, they just want what's best for you. You must not become rancorous with them, or if so only for an ephemeral moment. The best thing to do is follow your heart and think about everything before you do it. Look at the long term effects and see if you can work things out. You don't want to lose either people, so communicate with them and hopefully they will understand.
