Thank you,

I am going to consider these variables and ask her if she is willing to do that work. She did move 4 hours away to be away from her father so maybe I can help her realize that this much needed space is an extension of that original intention to move. The only reason she started visiting again was because I encouraged her to have a stronger relationship with her family. I lost both of my parents to early deaths, and seeing her struggle made me want to encourage her to cherish them while they are here, but it should never be at the expense of a woman’s respect. It is truly heartbreaking seeing the way he treats women. I shudder to think about having a daughter and having her witness that and having it be rationalized and normalized.
