[QUOTE="RuthShadburne, post: 483449, member: 13257"] Thank you all for your input!!! I am new to this forum, and I am seeking input and camaraderie. I have met my YD's new "man" more than once, and the only word I have for him is>>Svengali: A person who completely dominates another, usually with selfish or sinister motives. I have raised my daughters to be independent and self-sufficient, while at the same time, we have maintained extremely close relationships. I know in my heart that my daughter does not want to go down this road. There was a tsunami of events that took place at the beginning of 2011, and this man was the one who was "there" for her when she needed a shoulder. Sometimes my "Catholic guilt" kicks in, and I chide myself for not being the one who was there. My biggest worry is that I know the signs of an emotionally and spiritually abusive relationship because I survived one. My latest texts and emails have been ones that constantly tell her that I am here for her, I am her mother and I always will be her mother, and please just call me to let me know you are okay...no response. Sorry to carry on, but I am so worried for her. I really do appreciate everyone's support. I believe that when we have worry and concerns, we need to get it out of our bodies...whether by talking with others or finding support wherever we can, so I thank you all for your candid input. Just a P.S. One of my other daughters has just found out she's pregnant, YD "knows" this, and still, no contact. Hence, my major concern. This is not like her. Thank you for listening. [/QUOTE]
