[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711299, member: 1550"] Normally I would say no. But since she is so young and with an abuser who she is afraid of, i think you may want to keep the door open. This in my opinion is not personal against you. Its fear of him. He wants to isolate her so he can, in a sense, own her and take away all her avenues of rescue. Does she know where the nearest domestic abuse shelter is? She needs to know every outlet there is. Then unfortunatrly it is her decision when to leave and where to go. Sometimes it takes a long time. As much as it hurts you as a mother, you cant force her to feel safe enough to leave. But you can keep your home as an option of escape. However, if she comes back, you certainly need to make sure she obeys your rules. The shelter may be the best option, but she needs to be willing to go. [/QUOTE]
