Experience Experiencing abusive relationships with family.
Question Dwayne, My daughter 22, started seeing a man (her age?) They have spent time together going on 3 months.. The other week brusing on her cheek... Today a slight black eye.
I confronted her... She is afraid, says he threatens her family which at this point living together is just her and I. Her Children 2 & 4 both girls will be joining us within the month. We do not need the BS in our life ..I'm mad as heck, want to call him tell him get lost or I will involve the cops.. Which I would like to avoid, yet... He does not intimidate me at all. He keeps distance from me yet has always been pleasant.. I knew it was not good from the get go and told her.. lose him... He is Black and from out of state which makes me feel even more ... Why and what about him... I have been in abusive relationships and held my own until I had no choice but to get legal help. Which if necessary I will do again.. I may be a small woman yet when rubbed the wrong way will snap, most back away when I do. I do not want to go to his level of threats or violence yet this is my baby and she has been thru enough already. Please if you can give me advice on my first steps in dealing with this without taking away my daughters freedom... Thank you... Lou
Answer whenever people are in abusive relationships, the best thing do to is to seek professional help and talk to someone they know and trust. They should also get out of the relationship and break it off before they get broken.
If you've gotten legal help before in your own relationships, then that is what you should do as well with your daughter. If this guy is hurting her, there should be a restraining order against him so that he cannot come near her to hurt her again.
