Okay so i met this girl back in school and we've been dating for about a month now. Our relationship is going good and everything but my side of the family wants nothing to do with her and vice versa.
All this started back when we got back from college for the summer and we decided to go on a drug binge, our drugs of choice being xanax and weed mostly. Really it was anything we could get our hands on, but those two seemed the most available and easiest to find. Since we're both broke college kids, we still live at home and during a couple of these binge days, my mom finds us both passed out outside of my house. She obviously sees that something is out of the ordinary and speaks with my girlfriends mom saying that we both need help. This sets off my girlfriend but i calm her down and we go in my house to chill as my mom leaves for work. A few hours go by and my aunt, who lives just down the street, comes over and starts shit with me and my gf, saying that we both need to leave. Long story short, words are thrown around, threats are made, and the cops are called and both of us are thrown in jail for the night, me for public intoxication and her for possession. Throughout the whole ordeal, i was trying to be the mediator and make sure nothing stupid was done by either my aunt or my gf, but mostly i was holding my gf back, oh and we were both barred out when this was happening.
This was three weeks ago and since then we've both been completely sober of everything, we're working and getting our shit together. My mom no longer allows her to come over to the house, but i still see her on a daily basis. I want things to go back to normal and i want her to be able to come over whenever she pleases but my mom expects an apology or some kind of way of asking for forgiveness from her, but everytime i bring it up to my gf, it makes her mad and she feels like the relationship is gonna get nowhere because i'll always seek the approval of family first. My mom is willing to forgive and let her hang around again, but i'm just not sure if i should push it anymore, i really like this girl.
I guess what im asking is if i should just let it be and hang out with her regardless of what people are saying and accept the tension, like i have been doing. Or should i push the issue and try to get my gf to sit down with my mother and talk things out.
Help me out.
