Question
what is my role.  she comes to us alot but always goes back to him
we always take her in but she always goes back to him and we are the BAD guys. i don't know what to do.

Answer
Tammy,

Stop taking her in. Next time she shows up at the door, give her brochures about the battered woman shelters and local mental health counselors. SHE is an adult and needs to start making adult decisions. Letting her stay with you keeps her in child mode. SHE needs to get shit figured out with professionals.
