May be a ploy. He was in self-pity mode last I heard. Apparently is stuck in the hour away town. Says he is looking for employment. Maybe ran out of gas/money.
This is tearing at us. I wish daughter would cut all ties, but she still cares about him. That gives him reason. She is still standing her ground with him, but now because of the stress she is attacking those trying to help her. She doesn't want to hear it. At one point she told me my guy goes or she does. I think she looking for reason to do what she knows is bad for her and the baby. In other words blame someone else for her choice. This guy is trying his hardest to pull her in. I fear what's to come.
Headed home to it all. She seems to be in a better mood and made a dinner suggestion. Doing my best to be understanding and supportive while trying to help her see that he is toxic (by listening to her complaints of him). Not sure what else I can do.
