[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 697460, member: 20051"] Susan, Your daughter is in an abusive relationship. The dynamic of abusers separating their victims from friends and family is very typical. It is easier to maintain the cycle of abuse if the abuser feels that the victim has no "out" or nowhere to turn. It may even be likely that your daughter's boyfriend's mother has been a victim of abuse, too. Abusers often learn their behavior at home. Unfortunately, your daughter is an adult and there is nothing you can do to get her out of this relationship. All you can do is make sure she knows that, no matter what, you will be there to help her if she needs you. Leave the lines of communication open, at least on your end, and, hopefully, she will come around before it is too late. Continue with your counseling, and do consider some medication for depression. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
