Daughter was put in refuge . Just a room. On the same day . She got offered a 2 bed temporary flat and she really wanted it. Told her to contact her social worker for advice. I said to Daughter they won't want you to take the 2 bed. Because the refuge is about you getting in house support keeping your son safe etc . This is what they told her . They were advising her to stay there but also saying it was her choice . They explained how her ex is a heigh risk how he's made threats to kill. How he keeps saying he's going to go after her. That he wants to see her son. And then she kept saying you say I have a choice you say its up to me but it's not is it. She was shouting at them . Then they said to her they have to advice her that they are doing a legal planning meeting and they will send her a list of solicitors. I can't get her to understand very basic things. She keeps saying things like. They won't listen to me. They are stopping me having this nice place to live . She agues over everything. I Don't know what to do anymore.

Best of luck to you and your DD/DGS. Sounds like your support is vital.

@Peach01

This is great. Do you think she has a better grasp of it all? Does she seem motivated to keep away from her ex? I hope it all works out, really great that her son's still with her and she has a chance to build a better life for them.
I think shes starting to get it. Her tone/attitude/ body language etc seems different. So fingers crossed she starts ti turn a corner.

Does she intend to spend all those hours at the gym flirting with the men there as a means of keeping her mind off her ex?

If the answer to that is yes, she needs to find another method. If she can't, it could be a case of swapping one abuser for another.
