[QUOTE="busywend, post: 411024, member: 391"] Welcome! First, for your sake, I hope she is on birth control. Just putting it out there, no answer needed and no judgement at all. Sounds to me like a normal scenario of a teenage girl, that is not strong enough to handle a controlling relationship. Not good! But, I do think it happens more than any of us moms with teen girls would like. I do not know how you wake up this girl and get her to see that she is not evening respecting herself, let alone her parents and sisters. I sadly think it will take time and a ton of hard life lessons before she 'gets it'. At 18, I can only imagine the fear you have of her being under his roof - especially since he is a controlling boyfriend. I hope some members will pop in and share their own experiences with this and maybe what might have gotten them out of this situation earlier. For me, I think being as supportive as you can be so that when she does get that sense of something is not right, she KNOWS she can come to you for help. [/QUOTE]
