I'm going to tell you something that might help.
This is not a single story, it is the story of a
number of women who were in your position,
to some extent.
The parents of the Girl, (I'll call her Ann) objected to
the boy (Jack) she was seeing. As Ann had a fairly poor
relationship with her family, and it had been one of
long duration, she married Jack.
At that point she became 'officially dead' as far as
her family was concerned.
No one would contact her, save a cousin, who would
visit once and awhile.
When Ann was expecting her first child she told the
cousin, and the cousin told her that the parents didn't
want to hear it.
Two years after the wedding, the relationship between
Jack and Ann hit a bad spot, and Ann thought to make
a link with her parents. This was a disaster, for they
hung up on her.
That was thirty years ago.
It became clear, to anyone who knew the story or
any part of it, that Jack was the excuse the parents
were waiting for. It wasn't Jack. If it had been Jack
then the phone call she had made would have been
taken as; "See! We told you not to marry him!"
But it wasn't.
Was it?
There is nothing to worry about. Sever the ties and
move on. There will be no apology, there will never
be a reunion, and it is not just the b/f.
The fact that your parents can let a guy move into
the house and be so concerned about his sleeping
patterns, and find it quite alright that he impregnants
and doesn't marry your sister makes it pretty clear
that whatever problems they have, they centre on
you.
If Ann hadn't called her folks two years after the
marriage, (to tell them she wanted to leave Jack)
and if they hadn't been so clear on the fact they
were finished with her, she might have always
thought Jack was the problem.
She was her parent's problem.
Realising that, Ann moved on.
You move on.
