Today I get a voice mail from a random number. It was my GF saying that she was grounded with no TV or computer and the dad gave no reason for grounding her. His beatings are a way of him showing his hatred for the fact that he's her daughter. These parents are absolutely insane. My GF is one of the best softball players in the state and yet her father yells at her that she needs to do better and that she needs to try harder. But trust me she gives it 110% out there. If she gets an 80 for a mark or something she might get hit or punished. I don't know what to do anymore. I never even get to see her outside of school because her parents either always say no or because shes busy going to some ridiculous place that her parents drag her along to. The one time I saw her recently which was Saturday we even went out to dinner with her parents but they seemed completely normal. It all happens when I'm not around. What should I do? I can't even get in contact with my GF right now if i tried.

Honestly, nothing will make this situation better. She needs to get removed from it. Does she have any other family she can live with? Is it possible for her to come stay with you? The most important thing right now is for her to get out of that house.

She's gone.
She gave me a pen.
I gave her my heart,
she gave me a pen.

I think it is weird that they are so mean, yet they let her have a boyfriend, and even go on outings with you. It seems odd they would have you around their well hated daughter, when they are trying to get rid of her themselves. Have you ever considered the possibility she's lying about this to you? You shouldn't be so quick to be gullible. Make sure you have some solid proof beyond her saying. Observe if her parents really are the monsters she's making them out to be. It's a hard pill to swallow if she's deceiving you, but you should take all points into consideration.
That been said, if she really is being abused physically and mentally, there's little you can do for her. She has to be the one to take proper precautions, and fend for herself. You, however, can advice her on her options. She can file for emancipation from her parents, and take full responsibility for her actions. This is where you can help her. She will need all the support if she decides to take this step. It would seem like the most logical thing to do in this situation. Everyone would benefit. Her parents will have her out of their hair, and she's be happier and free to be with you. http://www.peoples-law.org/children/emancipation/emancipation home.htm#What does" target="_top">Here, the emancipation process is explained in details of how she can go about it.
