Frankly, I really need to get this off of my chest. Its been about a month and a half, and I still am questioning my actions in this, and probably will until the day I die. In short, I lost the love of my life because of bigotry on the part of her grandparents.
First, a little background so we can all appreciate just what pieces of shit her grandparents were; She has previously told me what she is comfortable being shared, and what she is not. Keep in mind, this is not the full story; she has had a hard life, and some of that is private, which I 100% respect, and thus will not be sharing in a public setting.
Her mother was 15 when she was born; her father was 20. Her grandparents pushed charges on her father, despite the fact it was 100% consensual, and destroyed his life because they didnt approve of a minor age difference. He didnt actually serve time, but they successfully stole every parental right he had from him, and got him on a sex offenders registry. He eventually put his life together, but he wanted nothing - absolutely nothing - more than to be in his daughters life. Im sure anyone here can appreciate that. Eventually, it all became too much for him, and he intentionally caught HIV and refused to take medication because he thought he had so failed his daughter, the woman I love, that he deserved a torturous death. She never met her father.
Her grandparents were viciously abusive to her mother, her mothers two sisters, and her mothers brother. Grandfather was a high ranking cop in Dallas (in charge of narcotics), and because of that, despite multiple CPS calls to their house (over 20), nothing was ever done to protect any of them. Her grandparents kept their children in a cage; they werent allowed to move out on their own. every single one of them had to sneak out in the middle of the night when they eventually left. Her mother is the main focus of this paragraph, however. She was living under tyrannical rules; she wasnt allowed to see her daughter unless she followed them. She wasnt allowed to leave their trailer, ever, without one of her parents accompanying her. she wasnt allowed to date, she wasnt allowed to go to college (despite being accepted to several prominent ones - baylor, rice, UT-Austin), and she had to basically be her parents live in maid. Eventually, when my baby girl was 12, she snuck out in the middle of the night, and lived in her car until she found a place to live. But it didnt stop there. Every night at 3am, her parents would try and kick in her door screaming at her for "abusing her daughter" by not letting them abuse her daughter. Eventually she died in a very suspicious accident, and the woman I love was forced to live with her grandparents, the very people her mother never wanted her to see again. She was 14 when this happened.
Fast forward to me meeting her 4 years later.
At first, everything was wonderful. I knew the second I kissed her that she was my soulmate. I visited her at her grandparents trailer more or less every time I could, because she literally was not allowed to leave her trailer without one of the grandparents accompanying her, and they locked her into her room at night. I was the only joy she had in her life, and her grandparents had gaslit her into thinking it was to "protect her", when in reality, the only people she needed protection FROM was her grandparents. For months, everything was fine, until she mentioned that she planned to move in with me in February '17 to her grandparents. Immediately they accused me of "abusing her", "brainwashing her", and stopped letting me come over, but she still was able to talk to me on her phone. This didnt particularly bother me, particularly with what happened next, about a week later. She told her grandparents she would call the police on them if they didnt let her leave. She said that they had no right to hold her against her will. Since then, she hasnt been allowed to touch an electronic device since - going on two months now - and they say they will shoot me if they ever see me. Theyve come by my house to threaten me and my family. One night, about a month ago, my baby girl stole a phone for a few minutes and let me know what has been going on.
She gets a beating every day because she refuses to say that she doesnt love me anymore.
Every night, because they are scared she will leave (as is her right), they inject her with Benydril to sedate her.
They shower her in gifts to try and buy her love, but she continues to reject them, saying that the only thing she wants is me.
One night, after she rejected a $2000 dress, they apparently held her down, and with a pocket knife cut her collar off, and then cut a 3 inch long gash into her arm for "striking her elder" (read: trying to resist being held down and having some psycho wave a knife in her face).
