[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 495370, member: 1157"] This is a tough situation, for sure. Having dealt with watching my Youngset in an abusive relationship, I can tell you that the more you try to "forbid" her to see him, the less likely she is to end the relationship. Unfortunately it also gives him a manipulative edge. He'll say, "See how awful your family is? They don't want us to be together. This is why I don't wnt you talking to them." So, I would tread carefully here. I do think it's ok to say, we'll support you, but we won't support this relationship. Maybe find a local domestic violence shelther near where she is living and provide her with their contact info. Or even contact them yourself, for advice. My other thought is whether she has an adult mentor in her career there that you could trust and reach out to. Chances are they are noticing this pattern as well, and could offer some support and additional insight into the situation. [/QUOTE]
