[QUOTE="katya02, post: 205587, member: 2884"] I'm so sorry you're going through this. {{{hugs}}}. There are things you can do ... your daughter is a minor. You CAN call police, even now, and press charges against this guy. You can arrange a restraining order. If your daughter refuses to cooperate, maybe a CHINS application is in order to help keep her safe. Or even a 302 because she's putting herself in imminent danger of harm. Please talk to the police and they'll tell you what can be done. While your daughter is still 17 you can do this, so go for it. The police can go and pick her up on a form (application for evaluation) based on what you tell them, and the ER staff will see the obvious harm that's already been done. If she has no other plan than to leave to go back to this abuser, they'll most likely keep her. (They might not be able to if she were over 18, but as a peds patient it's different.) I would also contact the local women's shelter for a counselor for you. They won't force your daughter to sit and listen to them (in my experience) but they'll invite her to come and join group and listen to other women, most likely, and they'll offer her counseling. But counseling for you is just as important, because this is destroying your health and peace of mind. I'm so, so sorry you're in such pain. [/QUOTE]
