I am sorry to hear that. You don't deserve that! You're a terrific woman, Janice! I'm glad that you have a wonderful boyfriend.
No need to feel sorry for me Hans (I think that's your name anyway).. I'm way past my parents racist attitude.. I have absolutely no time in my life for the many racist/bigots in our society, and yes unfortunately, that includes my parents and my ex-husband btw... It doesn't even bother me any more, even as we talk about it now. You would think that with me being their only baby, they would try and understand but they don't.. I do keep in touch with one girlfriend that I grew up with and a few years ago, her parents where invited over to my parents and since my friend was visiting at the time, she went along with her parents. She had been to my place many years ago and she remembered my parents had a ton of photos of me all over the house.. now she didn't see any of them.. Her Mom asked mine about me and how I was doing and my Moms answer was, " we don't know WHO you are talking about.." and she got the message very quickly and asked no more about me..it's as if I never existed to them... and again, that really doesn't bother me any more like it did years ago. Yes, I did have therapy and that's what cured the pain.. I've completely accepted how they feel and I've went on with my life with absolutely NO regrets.. Hopefully you understand.
