Am I the asshole for marrying my stepsister?

(Bella Swan x sibling reader x oc)

I, 26 female/enby, recently got engaged to my stepsister and my mom (Renee) and twin (Bella) aren't happy about it.

For a little background my stepsister (Alexis) and I met when we were 12 and became best friends. When we turned 14 our parents got married, but divorced two months after our 19th birthday. We knew that we had romantic feelings for each other when we were 13 and secretly dated as my mom was homophobic, but stopped everything when our parents got married.

Our feelings never faded, and my stepfather—soon to be FIL— had picked up on it a year into his marriage with Renee. We confessed everything to him and he encouraged us to continue dating. We hesitatingly did so and he helped protect our secret.

Phil eventually fell out of love and he and Renee divorced after Bella's wedding. That was when Alexis and I became public with our relationship. Renee and Bella were oblivious to us as we didn't keep in contact with each other, but my dad was surprised at first before supporting us.

Fast forward to now, we both just graduated college and got engaged. We sent the wedding invitations out and were met with immediate backlash from Bella and Renee. They blasted us on social media and called us a bunch of homophobic and racist slurs (Alexis is mixed) and Bella demanded that I give her back her daughter, Ren.

For context, Bella and Edward (my BIL) have been having marital problems and Edward sent Ren to live with me and Alexis to give her some stability.

My dad called a family meeting at his house to try and talk the situation out. But as soon as we sat down Bella immediately started verbally attacking Alexis. I lost my temper, I know I did, but when Bella called Alexis a disgusting half ape I lost and backhanded her across the face and snapped "Just because you're unhappy in your marriage doesn't mean you get to pull other's down with you!"

I packed our things and ushered Ren and Alexis out. I blocked them on all social media pages and uninvited them from the wedding. Alexis has been crying saying that we should just call off the wedding because we knew that this would never work.

Now I'm wondering if we've been going about this all wrong. I love Alexis, but our love has been giving us racial/homophobic slurs and incest remarks. So should we just give up?
