[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 424233, member: 84"] I see mrammler's point. But like toughlovin, I think it would depend on how your daughter was before this boy came into the picture as to how I would approach it. If daughter was a normal typical teen, I'd have to sit down and admit my worries to her. It might be with a typical teen, enough to bring her attention to how much she's risking to be with this boy that could possibly bring her back to reality. If daughter was giving you problems before the boy entered the picture.....you did mention depression, but not behavior problems........I, like toughlovin, would leave it alone and let natural consequences take their course should she make the wrong decisions. When dealing with domestic violence, even when it's just with a controlling person, parents walk a tight wire, torn between the need to rescue your child from obvious danger and the risk of driving her further into the relationship. The 2nd girlfriend is a good thing. Hopefully, daughter will discover what a total loser this jerk is much quicker. I'd also be hesitant to tell her to leave unless her behavior becomes such that you can't have her living there........because it will make it much harder for her to make the break from the guy. If she follows house rules without an issue, then I'd let her stay. Hugs [/QUOTE]
