Personally, I don't see why it matters that we don't have rings on our fingers or a meaningless title giving me the right to stick up for her when being attacked by her ignorant mother. Since I'm just the "boyfriend", I should stay quiet? There is much more to this story, and I apologize if providing edited information for the sake of her was necessary. She cannot approach the person who revealed the secret, nor sit down and have a rational conversation with her mother. Those are two tough factors to this situation.

My girlfriend is doing fine by the way. I am staying strong, listening to her vent and offering all the support I can offer. I stayed up all night last night trying to wrap my mind around everything, and can honestly say I learned nothing from posting here, and noticed that many people viewed a post with someone in a panicked desperate state and did not bother to take two seconds to respond.

Sorry if this post is rude, but I found it odd for one of the psych forums, and will not be returning to this particular forum. Good luck to you all.
