It would be so easy to offer advice from afar, but it is a different story when you are the one living in the difficult situation. I will pray for you - for wisdom to know what to say and do, and for your daughter and her sons for their safety and healing. I am a Mom, too, and I can understand how hard it is not to interfere when you want to help someone you love. The answers aren't easy.

Your daughter will need you while she heals from all of this, but she has taken the first steps.

Hugs to you and prayers being saying....

Than you all so much, your words of wisdom were so dear.I can say a l;ittle mopr now: my daughter was in an 18 year marriage they had two children.
He was one of those guys all the moms wanted handsome built, what our daughter had was an abusaive alchololic husband he knows everyone and everyone is on his side (NOT)He tried to tell judge my daughter she is not fit to be a mother because she is an insulin depedent diabetic. I guess the judge said simething like booz insulin. He told dad keep drinking and he could loose his lively hood since he drunks at the school his lively hood, She on her own ruff, but she'll do it

Marie, I continue to keep your daughter and her children and your family in my thoughts and prayers. May she grow stronger everyday now that she is free from living with this nightmare ...

Hugs, {{{{Marie}}}} ... I know you are strong and are carrying a heavy load here ...
