<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

To elaborate on the title, I grew up in a divorced household that could never afford the actual divorce. We were too poor to get lawyers and have been drowning in debt since I was born. Essentially, my parents hate each other. My father is pushing 70 and he had some trust issues with me in the past when I hit my teen years. My mom and I have always had a rocky relationship because she tore up the family by lying and cheating on my father. There are a slew of other issues, but these are the main ones.

Now when I left for college my father said I was not allowed to date until I turned 21. I did not plan on getting into a relationship, I just really admired this guy and we ended up becoming best friends. We're getting pretty serious, and I think out of respect and honesty I should bring it up to them and let them know I am dating. He will be my first serious boyfriend.
<bot>: What I want to ask is how long did you wait to introduce your partner to your family? What would be your advice on my approach to my parents considering the rocky relationship I have with them?
