Family Feud

Athena

My family have a reoccurring argument. I have a girlfriend... they hate her. And obviously I love her. We have been dating for eight months, soon to be nine on the ninth of April. My family has read my texts, got into my phone record and snooped through my stuff. Don’t get me wrong I love my parents. They are great, kind people who love with all their hearts. But sometimes i feel like the whole loving too much is the problem. After they read my texts about a year ago... and yes this has all lasted for a year with no settling down... they came to the conclusion that my (at the time crush and best friend) was manipulative. Now yes, she does have a lot going on that at some points made me think. But without knowing her certain past, and health issues, I could see how they might think certain things. It’s frustrating because it’s always a screaming match and I’m so sick and tired of yelling and getting yelled at. It’s like every time something starts going okay again, there’s another screw up on my end or something they found, or another fight , or me getting grounded. It just gets exhausting. I don’t know how to tell my parents “enough,” more than I already have. One of the fights got so much for me to handle I left and spent the night at my grandmothers. This was the day before Valentine’s Day. Does anyone have any experiences that are similar or any advice?
