[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 278271, member: 1157"] I am so sorry you're going through this.. I went through it with Youngest and her baby's father, and it about tore me apart. It's an incredibly helpless feeling when your child is being abused/controlled/emotionally beaten down. I learned to do my best to keep my mouth shut, as it pushed her closer to him.. except when it came to things that happened in my home. I ended up sending the boyfriend a certified letter, banning him from my property (Youngest was living with me at the time). A book I read that was very enlightening was called "Why Does He Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-He-That-Controlling/dp/0425191656[/url] It was the best I have read about abusive men and controlling relationships. There is only a small section about families and how to help, but it was still an interesting read about the mind of an abusive, controlling man. I gave it to Youngest, and all she did was skim it, but I'd like to believe that it planted a seed, at least She did eventually stop dating the baby's father, although she still has to deal with him constantly. HUGS. [/QUOTE]
