Hi my girlfriend is always getting treated like **** by her own family. They keep calling her a lazy slob with no job and stuff and her sister ****s on her more than anyone. Talking to her online I told her that I want to help in any way I can and that I'm there for her whenever she needs me. We both don't have jobs right now, but we're both looking. How should I help her out? I would love to get an apartment with her, but neither of us can afford it. I just want to help make her happy and help her deal with her crazy family.

She needs to get stronger and not let people take advantage of her like that. She will take it all her life from them if she doesn't.

This is not something someone on the outside can really help with.

Hope that helps.

There really isn't anything you can do...financially for her. Just be there emotionally for her until you both can get jobs and save for that apartment you both want.

Your gf shouldn't put up with her family being mean to her. She should tell them it is mean and uncalled for.

Well it's not really your job to fix her situation for her. She needs to work on hers, and you work on yours. If she seems to be leaning on you for financial support, knowing you're not working either, I would run for the hills. It's a red flag.

Fix you, then help (key term "help") her.

How well do you know her? Have you been around her enough to see whether or not her family is telling the truth? If not, then you never know what goes on behind closed doors and maybe she really is lazy and not putting forth the effort they think she should be.

This is a possibility

You might could also try talking to her family to find out why they think and say this stuff. If you see their point, then relay the message the best you know how without crushing her.

If you don't see their point, then encourage her on her own, independent of what the family thinks.
