Troubled relationship. What should I do?

I don't know why but I feel lost without her. Things have been at a stale mate for me. Our relationship was a roller coaster most of the time. She didn't like my family for her own reasons and I dealt with it. It seemed that all our problems were external or so it seems, I could be wrong. We were together for two years and were going to get married back in January, but she could not come to a compromise about my family. She did not want them there and I needed them there so I could close out a chapter in my life and start a new one with her as my wife and her as a part of my family. She was nice after the breakup and she wanted to be friends, and so did I, or so I thought. We hung out a couple of times but my feelings for her came flooding back to me. She was the only person I wanted to be with. I didn't know how to tell her that I still loved her, so I talked to her parents for advice. The told me that I should tell her how I felt and see what happens. So I did. We had a long talk and I told her how I felt. She apologized for her part and said that we should not see or talk to one another for a while. So we lift it like that. I was feeling good and ready to move on with my life. But she called me the next day and chewed me out for talking to her parents. She wants me to never call, text, e mail, or letters to her or her family ever again. She was rather rude and hateful, I forgive her because I still love her. She has done this once before and than called me a few weeks later needing my help. I helped her out because that is who I am. Always there to help. But I just don't know why I feel the way I do when I know that the relationship is over. I just feel lost. Any advice for me?
