I got bitched at by my boyfriend's dad...

My boyfriend went to stay at his parents since Saturday. How to say this in short hmmm??? We had a conflict I been at wit's end for a few. And I agree o prob made a a much bigger ordeal out of something than should have.
I stop by to have a talk with him outside.. and he was pretty nasty would not listen. Then we went inside and I thought he would lighten his mood with his sis, mom and dad inside but no...I ended up leaving then going back twice cause I kept forgetting something, i didn't wanna inconvenience my bf again driving out there...the third time I went in his dad gets on my ass about how I am not gonna come to his house and do this...the boyfriend fed them a bunch of lies not all but most or shared his version and what he seen me as...and his sister was in on it and his mom was quiet throughout. It's hard to explain it all you would have to know how the over two and half years together were but even tho he got me crying and I couldn't even explain what their son told him was not how it was for me no one listened but I left utterly hurt...it did more than the bf already did the entire time together I was like wow... unbelievable the lies and distorted view he has when I always was upfront what was wrong. Then a sadness came over me
He has a drug problem going on 18 years as an addict and his parents know EVERYTHING I did for that man live with me for free helping money wise when he chose...not helping around house when he isn't working...a huge support system that encouraged rehab he went once and he never did this before ever...nailed him outta jail...paid for his phone cigarettes..just most everything...while I almost lost my house...wont help put house back together that we were gonna redo things to have a nice home..put up with the drug use and all that that involves...they acknowledged it but totally dismissed it as something awesome for him for his trying to be clean so sad because this is a huge reason he will never get better.
They just made him feel in the right for being an ass for something he chose to misunderstand me on and always chooses not to.
They didn't say one word to him while he was standing there like it was an intervention for me. Wow
I feel sad for this man...and he doesn't even know what just happened.... and the parents neither

While im sorry for you going through this.. i feel you are better off on your own.. its ok for them ( the parents ) to stick up for him while not even listening to your side of the story and clearly you have admitted wrong in the misunderstandings..but you have helped him all you can, they acknowledge your help in his being clean, yet give him all the credit, look at what you have done for him..while we as couples do "do" things for each other because we love each other, we should not keep score but at the same we should not undervalue or take for granted what we do do! He has.
Watch his parent change their tune when he slips and they will want him to go back to you because you clearly are a good influence for him.
But i hope before then you have made a life without all his drama..
The other side of the coin is take him back and nothing will change..especially now he knows his has Daddy and sister on his side against you any time he wants to play the victim..

They're unlikely to be grateful
Your relationship sounds kind of codependent

@SW-User I would have to agree..on both unfortunately...I have my own issues and always felt I was codependent due to my childhood. I can be honest I prob am...and yeah I would definitely say he his

oh honey get out now! I know ur bf is in a bad place but seems like his parents & sister are too - its hard to walk away but seems like they don't want to get help - u need to think about yourself, look after yourself - walk away now b4 it gets worse than it is already!

You are well rid of that. Even if he wasn't such a troubled man, his family is.

@Serenitree your right that is true too....there are so many sides to this to look at. And then of course it did alot mentally wise for me..and I was most patient tho put thru heartache for most of our relationship bit he really chopped away at the trust and each screw up so resentment showed it's face more each time and I was at wit's end and I didn't react appropriate my but not totally wrong either..but even then they have his version and didn't care how his addictions and my help could have caused some ugliness here too tho not purposely or saying that's me and who I truely am

@michgirl75 You are a nurturer. You can never be anything else. The only way you can have a healthy relationship is with someone who loves your nurturing nature, and enjoys it, but doesn't [b]need[/b] it to get by in the world and maybe wants to give back some of that nurturing.

@Serenitree yes!! All that would be true :-)
