Me (25) and my girlfriend (25 too) live together and every time she has to go home to watch their 3 dogs for her parents, when she comes back home (here with me) she is just numb for days.
I've met her parents and without trying to sound like a d*ck, they're f*cking a$$hats. her mom berates & disrespects her 24/7 both in private and out in public without a care in the world, and also screams at her dad like there's no tomorrow about the smallest things. her dad has had drinking issues before, often yells at her mom and gets very verbally aggressive with my girlfriend about anything
my girlfriend has said that her mom is very narcissistic, controlling, demanding, egocentric, has no remorse or empathy, blames everyone & takes no responsibility, has tons of emotional immaturity, has never said a nice thing to her ever nor has she ever apologized for all the things she's done. she's also grown up being emotionally neglected and received no affection from her parents because all of their attention was on her older siblings. another thing is that her mom will scream and yell at her and call her every name in the book, then go outside for awhile to smoke, come back in, and do it all over again a numerous amount of times from morning till night
it hurts me to see her come home completely broken and every time i ask her what happens, it blows my mind with how cold, careless, manipulative, and deceptive her family is (her mom in particular). even when they text or call her, it's so harsh to see because my parents never EVER did that to me or my siblings. It's hard to fully understand what she's going through, but seeing her go through it is just as painful in my opinion
what can i do to help her?
