I can imagine how hurt you are, and you are right to be very angry about how your dad is acting. I don't understand why he demanded you take your ring off...he has no imaginable right to do such a thing. You are in quite a predictament my friend, and I can only say you need to find peace. If this move is it, move you must. You are building a future, and you shouldn't be letting your father control/make demands like this on you. I don't know why he feels it is his place. You do what makes you happy. You have enough stress and pain knowing your fiance is in a war, you don't need to have people who are supposed to be supporting you tearing you apart because of their selfish opinions. I just don't get it. Hang in there sweetie, take a deep breath and decide what you need, and feel confident in whatever decision you come to. Take care of yourself, and keep posting.

I know you are hurt. If you really want the ring, call the police and tell them he stole it from you. Be sure your packed and ready to move.
If it were me, I would move as quickly as I could.
Good Luck!!!

HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. HE IS A CONTROLLING ASSHOLE....I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD COME DOWN TO THIS. HE HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT US TO GIVE PEOPLE A CHANGE AND NEVER JUDGE. WELL LOOK AT WHAT HIS DOING. I DONT EVEN WANT TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS HIM. I CANT LOOK AT HIM, I DONT GET IT...THATS MY RING IM TAKING IT BACK!

i really feel for you. if you have the option to move out it may be the right move for you. your parent does need to give your ring back. it sounds like they are having a hard time accepting your engagement. taking the ring isnt really going to stop the marriage. your post says you were close with your dad, is he having a hard time letting you go and begin your life with somebody else?

Does your father know your fiance? Why such a behavior out of him? But I do agree with PF123, pack your stuff and call the police and leave his house.
Good luck and God Bless you

I know how you feel..When i was 14 my bf gave me a promise ring and when he died my Mom made me give it back to his Mom cause that was something special to his Mom..I was so upset cause my bf gave it to me and it was something special i had of him beside pictures..It took me awhile to get over that..But you are older and your Dad shouldnt have done that..Can you sit him down and talk about it and get it back..If not call the police like PF123 said..Good luck!!

That's not cool. I sorry, but your father crossed the line. Is there any way you can move with Kevin's family for a while.. This is way to much for you. What has you mom said in all this. This just sound to familar with me. That's why I got married so young and moved out. My mom was way to controlling. I can't tell you what to do. It's up to you. This isn't healthy for you. Hang in there. I am really so sorry. Tina

My mom knows my dad is wrong, and so does he his just to much of a "man" to addmit his wrong. Kevins mom and sister and Kevin has told me to pack up my s**t and move in with them until Kevin gets home in Nov.
