DD 17 hurt

[goldtinsel]

She came home with facial injuries because her BF got drunk and angry. She says these things happen with boys and is waiting for him to wake up so she can tell him everything is OK.

WTF can make her see sense???

OK, so the police aren't being that helpful. I would do what the other posters are suggesting and contact women's aid 08082000247. TBH you sound a bit at sea and although I'm sure you are doing the best you can in a frantic situation you need to stop now, get some proper advice from people who are experts in this sort of situation and then start fighting your daughter's corner even if she doesn't want you too. His parents sound like a waste of space which probably goes some way to explain his complete lack of understanding what is acceptable behaviour. Good luck.

been waiting for you maryz, thanks

it's not that simple as you might guess

It sounds as though all you can do is equip yourself the best you can to be able to manage things and help you DD when she let's you.

I do wonder what his/his family story is? How both he and his mother don't think it's a big deal?

I think we all hope she wakes up to the situation, and let's you support her in getting out of this relationship, and stay away from other abusive partners. She is so young, I hope this experience doesn't pave the way for her future.

Good luck, at least she has your support which is so important.

Glad you spoke to the police Goldtinsel

You've done what you can, and you've sent them both the message that this will not be tolerated.

Be very aware though, that next time he may be more careful and not hit her anywhere visible, so keep as close an eye as you can (i'm sure you already are)

I really hope that someone like women's aid can give you some more advice on how to handle this

God, I think if it were my daughter I'd be tempted to go on a 2 month long holiday somewhere with no mobile phone signal

Well done tinsel for calling the police and I do think you need to phone womens aid if only to help you help her so to speak.

You are now officially going to be the bad guy in all this because you phoned the police but she will thank you in the end she will.
Just stay calm and don't shout, and be careful he doessn't come round to see you.
