How do you show your daughter that she is in an emotionally abusive relationship and needs to leave?

Anwser The abuser and his victims sometimes form a bond that is difficult to break. This phenomenon is called "shared psychosis", "Follies a deux", and, in more extreme cases, "The Stockholm Syndrome This is why it may be difficult to "open her eyes" to reality. She may resent you and come to regard yopu as a dangerous enemy, threatening her marital "bliss Answer I'm glad somebody asked this question!

Unfortunately, it took A LOT for me to open my eyes. I had a sort of epiphany when my dad forced the phone out of my hands while I was crying because my abuser was at it again, and knocked some sense into me. I'm not condoning hitting anyone, just be very, very firm.

After this ordeal, I ran away and hid in the woods for a few hours. But when I came out of hiding, my mother was cold and distant, and my father apologized for what he did and tried to be understanding. He told me that he would allow the relationship to go on, and for me to be an adult and make my own mistakes.

I took this and ran, and kept talking to my abuser. I told him the next time that we faught, I'd leave him because of the ordeal with my parents. He agreed.

And then picked a fight with me two days later, bad mouthed my parents, etc etc. I finally started to realize that I was in denial, and that he was abusive, and in time, I cut my losses and left. There really is no specific way to get your daughter to get out of an abusive relationship, other than to point out to her what is obvious to you, and try to be understanding and patient.In time she will realize what's going on, and let you know, and look to you for support. Make sure you're there for her ANSWER: I was in an emotionally abusive relationship.

The way I felt, and sometimes still feel, is that he was the only one for me.....that he was THE one. I still have a deep love for him. Because of the love and attatchment that go into these kinds of relationships, especially on the side of the girl, its impossible to force her to leave the relationship.

Talk to her about it, don't be in her face, don't be rude. Just explain how you feel. Attacking her decision to stay in the relationship is NEVER a good idea.

You have to work with her..and don't forbid contact..my parents tried that, it only made me want to stay with him more. You have to be patient, and you have to be there when she needs you. Eventually, she will see whats wrong.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
