Exactly what I was thinking.
What's her ethnic background? Is she of Asian descent by any chance? Asian cultures tend to be very strongly family-oriented. This is especially true in 1st generation immigrant families, where there may not be much social contact outside the family.
One way or another, you've got to deal with this. It'll leave you miserable otherwise. Don't attack her about her relationship with her family, though. As the adult child of normal parents, I can tell you for certain that you come from a biased place when it comes to parent-child relationships. The issue here is all the ditching she does, the last minute cancellations, all that stuff.
