My neighbours had this problem some years ago and had arrangements in hand to have the baby made a Ward of Court to protect her but their daughter was coming from abroad and I don't know if this step is appropriate in your case. I do hope things work out well for you all.

Our youngest was in such a relationship, and in a very long way away (abroad)- it was unberable for us at times. She saw the light in the end and came to live with us for a while so she could get back on her feet. But they have to come to that conclusion themselves... you just can't do it for them, or it makes it worse. Fortunately there were no children involved- and he is still a long way away and abroad. How would you protect her and gs from his anger if he lives locally. Get advice and my thoughts are with you.

PDQ was of course what I should have typed!

Persuade her to go to the police and to move in with ypu PDW. This is intolerable and must be so painful for you . How lucky she is though to have your support [flowers|

Will she come to you, Alima? She and thte little one need to get away from him.

She should get away from him as fast as possible.

They never improve, whatever they say to the contrary, and usually get worse, poor girl, I am sure she is worth a lot more than that !!

Still she sounds as though she has good parents on her side!

sad for you and her and baby of course!

Our daughter has a beautiful toddler son, 2 years old. Her husband has a terrible temper, is moody and she is frightened of him. There was a terrible row last year when she was in fear for her life. Long story short, she wants to get away from him but is worried about going into the unknown. She cannot talk to him as he flies into a temper when she has tried before. Her Dad and I would welcome her and her lovely son at our home to get away form the husband. She is going to see a solicitor after having spoken to the CAB. I wonder each time I get to her house to babysit what on earth I will find when I get there. What can we do to help - her Dad and I are worried sick about it all. Does anyone have any advice please?
