My daughter is in a very abusive relationship. ?

Question

She leaves this dirtball when she has had enough, but ALWAYS runs back to him. this has been going on for years. i really am out of ideas on how to help her.

Answer 1

Suggest counseling for her.  She deserves better than the dirtball and you need her to acknowledge that through couseling.

Answer 2

If this has been going on for years and there are no kids involved in this then she needs to talk to a professional.

At this point she has some serious self-worth issues.

He has her believing that nobody will ever love her, but he may be the only one who will tolerate her.

We treat our animals better then that or at least we should.

Answer 3

When she's back, plan a big holiday.

Everything to distract her and make her feel good about herself.

So ask her where she would like to go on holiday with you.

Answer 4

You can't. She will only leave when she wants to. Be there for her as much as you can. Which I know can be hard to do when a person keeps making the sam mistake over and over again, but your her mom...

Answer 5

I  dont know how old she is but I have personally been through an abusive relationship.  Every time I dumped him he would crawl back begging for forgiveness and I would relent.  You know how it ended?  I lost everything in the end...self esteem, home and my kids (my ex did not want him around them).  Get a book on abusive relationships so you know the patterns and get her to inform herself.  You are her mom and need to do whatever you can to get her away from this dirt ball!
