I am genuinely unsatisfied with the lore my DM made for my character and don’t know how to tell her. /u/wskwarlock DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I am genuinely unsatisfied with the lore my DM made for my character and don’t know how to tell her. /u/wskwarlock DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Hi, pretty new to D&D here. Basically as the title says, my character has been going downhill and i end up more frustrated each time. I play in a small group of friends, everyone but me having D&D experience. My best friend, the DM, is a DM as her full-time profession. My character, whom I was really excited to play, is a half-drow who worships Lathander. She had a rough, morally dubious backstory, as all the players do, as that was the theme of the campaign. (“By bastards, for bastards”, my DM advertised it as.)

A few months ago, my DM made a hard pivot into forcing Lolth into my character’s story. My character, who had never been to the Underdark, was constantly met with scorn for being a drow, and was broken into her home and assaulted over it. (I know in D&D lore most races don’t like drow, but like. It’s my first time?) And as my character attempted to commune with Lathander, she was randomly met with Lolth with no warning. I am genuinely not allowed to commune with my god, and he has never come up for my character ever. And after essentially being forced to turn to Lolth, I am met with more scorn, now from players and previous NPC allies alike.

What should I do? I am genuinely so frustrated. I do not want this at all. I keep thinking it’s going to get better and my character will find a way out of it but it gets worse every session and I am starting to dread the thing I used to look forward to every week. I keep trying to bring it up to my DM but it feels like it’s never taken seriously. Even all the players single me out despite all our characters being morally dubious jerks. I keep thinking i should tough it out because I’m the only new one, but I feel so helpless and frustrated.
