Answer
Hi Carol, The most difficult thing is to see our children hurting and you feel like your hands are tied and you cannot do anything about it.

You have to wait until your daughter chooses to make that step to leave or ask for help otherwise she may feel you want to break them up and may resent you for this.

In the meantime you can be very supportive to your daughter.
Reassuring her that you are their for her and do not say thing about her boyfriend allow her to do so.

Your job is to be supportive and listen and until she decides to make that step to leave him.

You can start looking for way you can help her get her strength, take her out to places and friend so she can see other people behaving differently that will help her to make her decision.

You can pray for her, you can send her love and cover her with a light to protect her and you can ask God to protect her and the baby.
