It's worse than my daughter with the drug problem. At least that one knows how to escape it and is working on that. My younger daughter has 2 small children and her fear of losing them, no matter how much we try to show her she will not lose her kids, is her motivating factor for staying with the abuse. Honestly, it's shocking to me the way my daughters have all turned out (3). They are so far from the way I would tackle life it's depressing and overwhelming. Not to say I'm perfect when it comes to relationships but never would I live in the shadows they cower under. To me, it's a lack of education. And that was their choice. They both had opportunities they did not take advantage of. Both say the same thing, "How did I get this way?" Now, that's for them to figure out.

Imagine how badly I want to go to the police with my info and pictures. But I could lose my daughter.
