Basically I can't stand her family. At all. There's not much of an issue between us 2, but I told her that I don't want to be associated with her family whatsoever. Pretty much I told her that I don't like the way they treat her because I think they treat her like shit, and that's not ok with me.
So, story time..
She's always had issues with her parents so I told her to be the bigger person, to sit them down and to talk to them calmly about how she feels on the way they treated her (she's 26). What happened was the moment she started explaining herself, her mom would freak the fuck out and start yelling saying shit like "No! Why are you talking back?! Stop it!" so she can't even get her say in it. Afterwards, she wrote her parents a 2 page letter explaining how she felt. Unfortunately her parents never acknowledged it. Shortly after, they got into an argument and her mom used it against her by saying "what are you gonna do? Write me another letter?"
Another more serious incident..
So my girlfriend has had pretty bad anxiety and depression (her mom has actually caused her to have anxiety attacks and then I would have to help calm her down and breathe). My girlfriend's sister recently exposed to their parents that she has cut marks on her wrist. And instead of helping my girlfriend, her mom yelled at her... "That's enough! Stop it!"
Sorry for the long post guys, I'm almost done.
So after all that, I don't want to have anything to do with her family and yet, she says she still loves them and wants them to be a part of her life and she wants them to be a part of my life. She said ideally, she would want me to want to go over to her place and spend time with her family. She told me that it's a deal breaker if I can't respect her parents. But I can't respect her parents after everything they put her through. I don't know what to do guys. It also worries me that she still wants them in her life and accepts that because they're "family". I'm different in the way that I have no issues cutting out anyone from my life if they're toxic and negative. I believe "family" are people who stick by your side and help you through tough times. She's giving me til Monday to let her know and make a decision. She literally begged me to give them another chance and to try and see the good in them, saying that she'll never ask for anything else, and that completely broke my heart. I don't know what to do
