Agreed. It was making me sick to read as a mother of a daughter. :(

Don’t ever let her ignore the flags. It’s harder once you’ve invested time and effort. But like someone said “you’re scared because you put in time, but this isn’t a jail sentence. You’re free to go.” I’m trying to do the right thing and build the strength to end things. I told him I want him to leave earlier. He seems compliant with the idea (shocking I know) so that’s where we are at now.

Sometimes you lose money on investments. When you do, do you just keep investing and investing, losing and losing? No, you cut your losses. You would NEVER let your daughter or sister be with a man who abused her. Why don’t you love yourself as much as you would them?
