    Jo, I agree we had a family friend who despite the husband being jailed still got back together with him after being released.

    Mabel - I completely agree, some people are best left to themselves. Now, do you realise how not annoying you are! I was trying to think of some more, but I think I have blocked it out tbh.

    Hugs evenstar.
    Just had a look at that womensaid site. it looks really useful. would definitely give them a call. you need to be able to talk about this. Its not just happening to them its happening to you as well.

    I wasnt sure about the post as it was quite personal
    Thanks for all great advice
    I agree mabel that to many do get away with it, all I can say is I am pleased he had the sence to leave before I went back or I could not have been held responsible

    This has been going on for years with him ,he is a real waste of space, I give people more chances than they usually deserve but he had his last a long time ago

    I feel that i carnt trust DD ansd she is very secretive when he is there,I know he has painted me as an interfering mother,only to diminish my influence and make her feel I was trying to run her life...so I have to break that brainwashing as well...its really hard

    OH just thinks its cut and dry ....get rid and stay rid but I know she feels a bond because he is babys dad,although he has not provided for her,in my book the lad maybe her biologigal father but hes along way from being a dad


    I had a similar issue with my sister but rather than violence it involved class A drugs. It sounds to me that he is controlling her. I would urge you and/or her to speak to the womens aid/refuge as soon as possible.

    It took me physically separating my sister from her then parter. Only now after nearly 10 years does she see what a BIG !!!!!! he was....

    Your DD will see it in time... I know you feel like you can;t trust her but the best thing you can do now is be there for her.
