[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 86626, member: 3353"] I haven't read through the rest of the threads yet, so it may be that I will be duplicating the things the others have told you already, Carolanne. Unless you can convince her to come away for lunch with you, you are going to have to miss Christmas with this daughter this year. The male this daughter has chosen does not sound mentally stable. I think it is very important that you not support this relationship in any way. I know how little control we have over the males our daughters engage with. But we CAN tell them how strongly we disapprove. We CAN tell them they were raised better than this ~ and we can tell them that we will not support them in any abusive relationship ~ ever. You can (and probably should) tell your daughter that your feelings regarding this male are nothing personal ~that you would feel the same about any bully ~ because that is what those who terrorize and threaten others are. Bullies. And every bully is nothing more than a coward at heart ~ a scared little kid with a mean streak. Keep the numbers of women's shelters with you so that you can give them to your daughter at a moment's notice if you need to. I am sorry this is happening to you and to your daughter, Carol Anne ~ but there is no sense in pretending daughter is not in a dangerous situation. Isn't there some law against sending threatening e mails? If there is? Press charges. Barbara [/QUOTE]
