My parents are really hurting me.

Can I ask a possibly dumb question... is she the same race as you? Or is she much richer/poorer than you?

That's really sad. I guess for your own peace of mind, find out why they turned like that.

They was drunk, how seriously can you really take it.

What should I do now, as I can't just let this go. What if it happens again?

Hmm, I'm no Dr. Phil (spot the American culture reference!), but I'd really sit them down and ask hard-lined questions. Maybe even ask your gf to come along to make it even more formal? It's really unfair that they put you both through that.

Ultimately, never bring her round your house again.

I've been with my girlfriend for about 4 months now, and my parents were really nice to her at first. She's a lovely person, quite shy, but really polite and kind, and my family all loved her. But now suddenly, my parents have turned on her.

We were at a family gathering at my house, and my parents got quite drunk, and started coming up and calling my girlfriend a tart and other really disgusting names, and telling me to 'keep it in my trousers'. This is so ridiculous, as my girlfriend and I haven't had sex yet, and we definitely won't tell anyone when we do. My gf is mortified, and I'm so hurt that my family could behave like this.

My gf got quite upset, and my mum started screaming at her to 'get over here', so my aunty physically pushed my mum out of the room, while my grandmother comforted my gf. i don't know what to so, and why the hell my parents think it's acceptable to treat people like this, especially someone they know I love, and who is so nice.

Tell them that they were out of line. They are supposed to be the responsible adults, but drunk or not, that doesn't excuse their behavior. You wouldn't start screaming at their friends, accusing them of being swingers and calling them names, so why should they get away with it? Don't be rude about it, by all means, they are your parents after all. Just explain that what they did hurt you and your girlfriend.

Of course, this is all conjecture, as we don't personally know you're parents or what they are like and never will, but these posts should give you some ideas on how to proceed

I told them that 'at the party last night you really upset Grace and me, and I think the rest of the family were really embarassed too'.

My dad said to me that he had no idea what I was talking about.

I then said 'when you and mum were drunk, and kept coming over to me and grace and calling her all sorts of names, and being really rude. don't you remember?'

Dad said 'don't be ridiculous, you must be kidding dave? you and grace seriously need to lighten up, and stop accusing me and your mum of being criminals for f***s sake.'

I said 'But dad ...' and then Mum said 'just go dave, i really don't know what's got in to you'.

What more can I say? They've either blanked it out or they're refusing to acknowledge it.

Has this happened before with other people?
What are your parents' drinking habits like?
