Tbh I wouldn't suggest this, if her parents aren't aware that she was in need of mental help when she spends that much time with them (working for her dad), then they most likely don't understand mental health or possibly don't accept it as a helpful treatment. She may be learning this attachment to fantasy FROM her parents. And if you break up with someone, it's better for everyone to cut ties and move on. Trying to reach out to their parents becomes a space that isn't necessarily for you once you have broken up with their daughter, if that makes sense.
Truth. Alot of these relationship scenarios are a played out version that stems from family of origin trauma. The parents are likely the reason Ops now ex gf has the belief system she does. Op has what he needed to make a solid decision for himself whether a future was realistic for him. Hes decided its not. It should end there. If by chance, his ex gf family reaches out to query, that's another path he's going to have to decide how to navigate, if at all. There's no obligation to explain to them whatsoever.
