Bit of a long one so please bear with me
Daughter has been in abusive relationships since the age of 17, she now has a 4 year old child and has been on her own for almost 3 years - should say a lot of this time has been recovering from 11 years of back to back emotional and financial abuse
She started online dating and has met a guy, within 12 weeks she has given up college, her part time job, sold her car and has stopped speaking to me, after I met him and he constantly belittled her and found out that on the 3 nights my gc was at home he was staying there (which due to recent events with children being killed by new partners) I didn’t agree.
I have looked after my gc since 9 months old, they lived with me for over a year and since they moved into their own place they stayed with me 3-4 nights per week. She has now said that unless he can be there too I can no longer be involved in her family.
I have such a close bond with my gc and now I’m being cut out of there life and I really don’t know what to do. I’ve said I don’t need to be involved in her relationship and I’m happy to let her make her own decisions but her blackmailing me with seeing gc unless I see him too is too much - I can’t sit back and watch this all happen again.
