[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 711235, member: 17244"] You're in a tough situation. You can't control what she does but you can make yourself crazy trying to. Provide her information on domestic violence shelters and hotlines. Have her install the Aspire app on her phone. Establish boundaries on when and how often you're available. And take care of YOU! Do things you enjoy, spend time with your husband. You guys have worked your whole lives doing for others, now it's your time. You could find a therapist who understands about boundaries and detachment. Of course you want to help your daughter, but the reality is there's only so much you can do. You can give information on resources. You can also model what a healthy relationship and life look like. You mentioned you find comfort in Scripture. One thing I noticed was Matthew 16:24 "“If anyone would come after me, let him take up his cross and follow me." It doesn't say take up everybody else's cross. You can love and support your daughter, but only she can make the decision to end the sick relationship she's gotten herself into. [/QUOTE]
