stay cordial and polite, but make it very clear that you won't let them treat her like that anymore, and if you hear of it again, you'll start making more noise about it in front of her- which will make the situation 100 times worse on everyone. : : Your GF for one needs to grow some balls and stand up for herself. she shouldn't LET them talk to her like that. : : : : anyhow to make a long story short, i'm pissed off and i'm tried of taking this kind of mental abuse from her parents. so i don't know what to do but i really really want to tell them off.
then when you get over there, tell them that the way they talk to their daughter needs to change, as it's borderline emotional abuse. If they want their child to grow up mentally healthy, they need to support and encourage her, not insult her and put her down.
: : If she doesn't have the kahunas to do it, then you need to step in and have a discussion with them, preferably when she's not around. work, school, etc. just don't have her there at the time- you'll end up being the bad guy from both ends of the family if you do that.
: : : bottom line,they are just dicks. my GF's parents that is. they talk trash about me when i'm not there,
: : : they always put down the GF and somehow it always comes back to me, and to me its like insulting myself. i just can't and won't stand for crap like that, specially from parents. put downs insults and personal attacks are just against my beliefs and way of living.
: : : so last night her step dad was just being an asshole cause we got seperated on the parkway cause he drives slow. so the GF and i end up walking around the art center parking lot for an hour before her parents called her cell. they didn't know their own daughters cell # (how retarded). the gf didn't know the rent's cell number either, mostly cause the parents never use it.
