[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 578677, member: 2315"] First let me welcome you to this board and tell you that I am so very sorry for your pain. You said that you sent your daughter to a job core position to get away from the abusive boyfriend. Unless she was also getting domestic violence counciling and support services she would not be able to break the pattern. California is one of the states that procecutes DV even if the victim is unwilling to press charges. You can make a report and the police are obligated to follow up on it. Contacting your local DV hotline or shelter for information on services is also suggested. Your daughter is in a situation where she is not likely to be able to protect herself or make the decisions needed to free herself of this man's clutches. It is also possible he has threatened her loved ones to make her come back to him. He is obviously a monster and your daughter feels powerless against him. While I agree wih detachment for most problems, I do not when severe domestic violence is involved due to the psycological crippling that these situations cause the victims. Most do not escape these situations without alot of support from people outside the relationship. I strongly recommend reading about California law, talking with domestic violence counselors and possibly making a police report. If he is an illegal he will be prosecuted and then deported and will never again be able to return to the USA legally. If not an illegal but not a citizen the same applies. If a citizen, he will be charged with a crime and held till trial. That will give you time to convince your daughter to get DV counseling and prevention. Here is a link to a lawyer's site who specialized in Domestic violence. It has some information regarding the laws in your state and also some telephone numbers for resources available.
