Would you choose to give up your own happiness?

I am a single mother of a 1-year old baby girl. Since I need to work, it's my mother who's taking care of her. We were abandoned by the father of my child after I gave birth because of another girl who happened to be working on the same place that we are working at. During these times, I was so down and hurt. I decided to go out with an old friend of mine who used to be my classmate when I was in high school. Meeting him again after 10 years is more like destiny. We learned that we both like each other since high school and eventually he became my boyfriend. This is against the knowledge of my parents though, I know they wouldn't accept the fact that I have another boyfriend now. But I know that whatever we are having (my boyfriend and I) are different and that I will never find another like him and that I will never feel this way to anyone again. My father is no longer talking to me because I refused to leave the guy whom I know is worth fighting for. But I'm confused. I don't really want to go against my parent's will.
