I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she lived in the philiphines most of her childhood while her parents live in the US and that her parents didn't really watch her grow up.
THAT, and the fact that her mom had past history when she was around 20yr old. Both me and my GF can't figure out what the deal is with her mom, but what's FACT is that her oldest sister is 30 and her mom is 50 so that might have something to do with it.
Her Filipino heritage explains lot. I've been to P.I. many times and I've noticed the tremendous loyalty of children to their parents.
They tend to bend backward and will do anything for their parents, I guess it is a good trait to possess but parents will take advantage
of their children like your gf's case. Actually most of the asians children are as loyal to their parents as filipinos, it's their culture.
