DP comes from a VERY argumentative family. Almost every family lunch, weekend or occasion erupts into some sort of argument. Normally they start from nothing and turn into arguments about everything. They get very loud, hurtful things are said and I have to sit and watch. I understand families argue but seriously every time? To make matters worse this is all in my second language.
We've just spent the weekend together. Friday's argument started because of his sister. Today's argument because of his Dad and later because of my DP, with DP's mum throwing comments in between. Today's argument was particularly horrible between DP and sister with me trapped in the car between both of them saying horrible things to each other and both on the verge of tears. I said that I didn't want to be a part of this and DP's sister turned on me, saying I would never have to see her again as her relationship with her brother is over.
I feel like the environment is incredibly toxic. I genuinely like his family but hate being in this environment. They are family so 'get over it' but it makes me dislike them all. I try not to take sides, but it's hard not to.
What would you do? I've told him that I think he (and all of them) need to grow up and try and sit down and work on problems, I've also said that I'm not sure how much time I want to spend with them. To top all of this off, we're going to stay this Wednesday for a week, with all of them. I could cry . (By the way DP is not like this with me)
