It must be very hard, indeed, to see you daughter in a bad situation. Maybe I'm wrong in what I advised above. Maybe you would do well to tell your daughter she is making a big mistake, if she does renew her involvement with him. She would be wise to tell him that she does not want him coming around and will talk to police about it, if he persists. I can see where your daughter is someone to worry about. Still, she needs to wise up and look out for herself. Maybe she gets attracted somewhat to the drama of this kind of involvement. It might be wise for you to be a little less interested in every detail of her interactions. If she makes what you can clearly see is a very dumb decision, then briefly tell her that and then don't show a lot of interest in a relationship that you know is unhealthy. As bad as this last guy was, the next guy may be worse. She needs to find a circle of friends to do things with. Also, don't excuse dopey behavior with having a good heart. I do know what you are saying, but your elevating dangerous behavior into something sweet . . . and that can further enable it. I hope things work out.

Your daughter has a serious problem and even if she gets rid of this guy, she will continue to have a problem. Maybe sit her down and tell her some do's and don't's of engaging in relationships. I know that's the opposite of what I told you, but it sounds like your daughter is going around kind of clueless. Too bad. I'll bet she is a nice person. A nasty person wouldn't get played as she has been.
