Mom in turmoil/Daughter in Trouble

So sorry to hear about this. The only thing I can say is love her . When she is ready for the help. do NOT hold it over her. as in "I helped you". This will push her away, you may lose her.

oh Audrey, if only all mothers had the same insight and understanding as you!

I hope that your daughter will admit soon that she needs help in getting out of the relationship. As beneficial as groups and therapies are, it's no good if she herself doesn't admit she needs help. She certainly has a lot of loving people to support her, I hope she realizes one day just how lucky she is to have that and she deserves so much more than to be with someone who doesn't support her.

But having you as a mother I have no doubt she will pull through!

(((Audrey))) Your story is heart-breaking, but you are a good Mom and she will come around. The best thing you are doing is not judging her. You have extended open arms. I think that is lovely.
