    Question

    I fell in love with an older woman, wrote love letters, and sent songs. She discouraged it, but I kept it going. She called my parents, and they threatened her, I saw her the other day for the first time in 7 months, and I passed out and cried. This isn't normal behavior for a teen, I love her as my best friend, but I can't ever have any communication or my sister will sue her. She has done nothing, I am acting like a baby. This poor lady is getting in trouble because of me. I can't talk to my family, our culture is different, my sister runs the family, I am the youngest.

    Answer

    I am really sorry about this situation and I suggest you find some adult you trust to talk to -- priest, doctor, or counselor. I saw another message from you and it is obvious you feel guilty and I would encourage you to tell the truth and undo what has been done -- for the woman and yourself.
