[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749940, member: 18958"] Welcome. This is good, but in my view, not enough. You are right. Your husband is in denial. Perhaps you can support him to come to his senses. This is repeated, criminal behavior by your daughter and her associates. I would urge you to get a restraining order so that she cannot come to your house or near you. I understand that husband is not on board. While marital counseling makes sense, I believe the situation is urgent and there needs to be further action on your part, now, to protect you. This has already been violent. You are afraid. This is intolerable. Who knows what comes next. This may sound extreme, but I do not believe you should be subject to this one day more. Is there the possibility of your moving out, until your husband is onboard with making and enforcing boundaries? To a relative's house or even to a motel? I would give husband a chance, first, to do the right thing. Tell him that you need your daughter to stay away from you and the house. If he chooses to see her, it needs to be somewhere away. And if he does not concur, tell him you will move out until your home is safe. Then you can find a counselor. With husband if he is willing, or by yourself. I think the situation is serious, if he is not willing to consider you and your welfare. This is not only about your daughter. It is about you and your psyche and your safety. In your own home. In your refuge, your sanctuary. Your husband must we willing to take this seriously. Why should you be sacrificed here? You matter. I am very sorry this is happening. I'm glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
