[QUOTE="AliceLee, post: 23258, member: 3104"] One less worry...she has already got another job! Not one [i][b]I [/b][/i]would want (in collections...maybe she'll have to call herself---ha!), but a job all the same. Hearthope, I took your advice and sent her an email congratulating her on finding a job so quickly and letting her know that I love her. I don't want her to feel like she's stuck with loser boyfriend because he's the only one who "loves" her. husband and I are on the same page, I think. If boyfriend beats her up again, we will let her stay one night with us, then refer her to a domestic violence shelter. If she is cooperative with working with the domestic violence counselors and seems serious about wanting to end her relationship with boyfriend, we'll consider letting her move back home. Of course, there are some conditions she'll have to agree to before that happens. Same thing if she becomes homeless. Our primary condition is that she must get mental health help (I suspect that she's bipolar). I've felt much better over the last few days. Thanks, everyone, for helping me as I learn to detach with love! [/QUOTE]
