It is important to share how you feel about your parents' perspective. If your parents disapprove of interracial dating, let them know that you wish they were more open-minded. Some parents may have legitimate concerns about the cultural compatibility of you and your partner. Listen closely to what your parents have to say and answer thoughtfully. Ensure your parents that you have and will continue to think about their point of view. Explain to them, "Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate your honesty and I will carefully consider what you've said." Remind them that every relationship has challenges, and that you and your partner love each other and are willing to work through any issues that arise. Remind racist parents of all the good things about your partner. Say, for instance, "I care deeply for my partner. Their race does not define them. I'm sorry you can't see that." Avoid emotional outbursts. It's okay to be angry or frustrated if your parents are unwilling to accept you dating outside your race. However, it is important to keep the discourse civil. Be patient and avoid yelling, name-calling, and violence. If you feel your temper rising, breathe in slowly through your nose for three seconds, then exhale through your mouth for five seconds. This simple breathing exercise will help you relax. Sometimes it's best to be patient and allow your parents time to process the information that you're dating outside your race. Excuse yourself or end the conversation politely if you feel it is not productive. You can always come back to the topic with your parents later. Say, "I'm going to excuse myself from this conversation for the moment. Perhaps we can resume at a later time." Your parents might ask, "What will people think about me if you're in an interracial relationship?" They might also suggest that you should be dating within your own race, or that you're doing something wrong by dating someone of another race. Stand up against these insinuations and old-fashioned attitudes by reminding them that there are many wonderful people of all races. Explain that the important thing to do when looking for a partner is identifying how the person acts and treats you. For instance, you could say, "I know and love my partner, and they treat me well. These things are important. My partner's race is not." Don't let your parents use other people's attitudes (or their own) to make you feel guilty about your relationship. If they are worried that their friends or neighbors will shame them because of your dating preferences, suggest that they ditch those friends. Assure your parents that your interracial relationship is not intended to hurt them, and is not an act of rebellion. Say, "My relationship is only intended to enrich my life and the life of my partner. It is not meant as a slight against you."

summary: Respond to your parents. Stay calm. Don't let your family make you feel guilty.

You aren't completely hopeless if you can't afford to live on your own. Now more than ever, people are living with roommates to afford rent. Consider this option carefully, however; trying to find a roommate will split the cost of rent and utilities in half, but it can add a lot of stress as well. Consider a few key issues before searching for a roommate: Would you be comfortable sharing a room or an apartment? Are you expecting your roommate to be your best friend? Do you feel comfortable having someone around your personal belongings? How clean are you? Are you loud? How clean and loud would you want your roommate to be? Sharing a room with a brother, sister, or cousin is great training for life with a roommate. If you are close with one of your siblings, you may want to move out together. Make sure you trust one another to pay the bills on time. There are many ways to find roommates, whether it is through mutual friends or social media sites, but once you found someone who wants to live in the same area as you and is financially stable, talk to them in person. Some questions you should ask are: How clean are you? When do you go to bed, and how often do you have company? Do you have any pets, and will a significant other be living with you? Can you pay all bills on time? See if these questions influence your decision to live with the potential roommate. Your lifestyles should be mostly similar. Conflict is bound to happen when living with others. What matters is how you deal with it. Pretending to not be bothered by your roommate's behavior will lead to frustration, but constant bickering is stressful. If you need to confront your roommate, choose your words carefully so your roommate does not feel attacked. "I feel frustrated when you don't wash the dishes because the room smells" is better than "You're a slob." Focus on the behavior, not the person. Confront problems as they arise, not when you are frustrated and overwhelmed. If your roommate confronts you, remember that they are trying to improve your relationship. Listen and reflect on what your roommate tells you.
summary: Decide if you want a roommate. Consider living with a sibling or relative. Interview potential roommates in person. Deal with conflict in a healthy way.
