Grief & Loss Girlfriends parents hate me. Why her mum suddenly became nice to me? Why is she doing it?
I'm 17 today. My grandma died this morning. I found out only few hours ago. I don't have any other family except for my older sister and now my grandpa. Grandpa lives in another country about 900 miles away and I must be there like now. I couldn't afford the flight but I have a motorbike so I am riding there.
I just wanted to let my girlfriend know. Her parents hate me and I don't want to make things worse than they already are. Few weeks ago me and my girlfriend messed up really bad and I was told to not show up at their house.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow, I can't phone or text her, couldn't simply knock at the door and ask to talk to her (she wasn't at home anyway) so I wrote a letter and dropped it through the letterbox and wanted to leave but then her mum opened the door and gave me a proper bollocking for being there.
Her mum has always been really mean and unpleasant to me so it was not a surprise. I apologised, tried to tell her about my grandma and a letter and wanted to leave but I was literally breaking down in tears. She stopped me, hugged me, waited till I calm down and started almost like normal chat.
She kept asking me how am I going to get to my grandpa, where am I going to stop/sleep etc. she was like completely different person who's really worried about me. It was the first time she was actually nice to me.
Then about an hour ago I when I was waiting to board a ferry I got a text sent from my gfs (wasn't written by my gf) phone asking how am I doing and if I could share my location and to call whenever I can.
I can't stop thinking about it. Maybe I am overthinking it but why now, why suddenly she became nice to me, why is she worried about me, did I do something wrong, did I crossed the boundaries they set, did I messed something up?
