My beautiful Daughter is married to a man that does not treat her well. Gas-lights her continiually. This has rubbed off on their 5 year old daughter.
This was very positive. Yet, to be with someone, or talking one the phone or Facetime would be a great benefit.
No, this is a great idea. People need to be safe and anonymous.
Hello, My name is DJ, Thank you for your time. How are you?

Yeah, she is visiting for a couple of days. It is great to see her and our Grand-baby. He had to work so he's not here. He's a great guy to everyone else. But not to her. We can see how their relationship has decreased and the little one is copying his poor behavious

omgsh I'm so sorry to hear that. Is this your daughter's partner? I've been in an emotionally abusive relationship before and know how difficult it can be
assistant
Self-disclosure
It is good for her to be here with us. She can talk with her Mother and pray together. Yes, this is her husband. I'm sorry to hear you went through the emotional abuse. It is rough. I've got to be careful not to react to him.

From my personal experience, I can say that your support really means everything to her. She may not want to admit the truth to herself, but with your support, I believe she can find the strength to get out of the relatioship
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Yeah, she does know what is going on between them and how it is impacting the little one. And, I am thankful she trusts us with what is going on. They both need support and strength.

Yes I completely understand. It's a very delicate situation. I've read multiple times that it takes an average of 7 times to leave an abusive relationship (even though I think I tried even more times than that). She will hopefully one day gather the courage to realize she doesn't deserve to be treated badly You are amazing for being her support!

That is for sure. She will talk things through with her Mother, they have always been close and I help when needed. I'm thanksful she leans on on us. The little one loves coming for a visit.

that's all you can do for now until the day that she will be able to take steps to leave the bad situation I hope that this will be a productive visit from them. At the very least, they'll be able to see what real love looks like from you guys :)
