[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 286814"] Your daughter is 26? This is tragic...my heart goes out to her and also to YOU. I tend to agree with GG. There is little you can do. She is an adult. However, this man's behavior is UNACCEPTABLE and your daughter should be made aware of it. She should know that she is worth more than this...is now and always will be, no matter what. If she doesn't want to hear it...so be it. It should be said. You can provide her with literature and resources. You can (and probably should( provide her with a brief bit of advice...chances are she doesn't really want to hear it. Let her know that you do not approve and never will. Of course, if she asks for advice, I would gladly provide it and do so more than "briefly." I would also let her know that you would always be willling to provide your home for emergency/temporary shelter (I don't know your situation...she's not living with you, correct?). You might also give her the number of a crisis hotline and let her know that it is important that she get herself to a safe spot whether it is your home or another in a time of crisis. However, if she has literature and resources in her possession, it would be up to her to make use of them. Keep an extra copy in your possession, in case she tosses the information and then later asks for it again. Don't give her a speech...but try to get the message and materials to her briefly and efficiently. Keep a good thought that she will make the right decision (s) at some point. Perhaps the best you can do at this point, is 1) Give her materials to help herself; speak with her briefly, hope that she reads the materials... 2) Put the greater focus/energy on YOURSELF and your good mental, physical and spiritual health and perhaps she will see your healthy energy and happiness as an inspiration and guiding light. God Bless. aaf [/QUOTE]
