What shall I do when my daughter is dating a loser

My daughter is dating a loser. what do I do? She is 19 and he is 25. They met when she was 16. She lied to us about his age. Until when she turned 18 and admitted to us that he verbally abused her and broke up with her. 1 month before she went off to college they got back together. He proposed to her. She found out he was cheating and they broke up again. She took him back again. He doesent work doesnt drive and doesnt pay child support for his 3yr old daughter. what can I do?

Answer #1

well, by law you cant do anything because shes old enough to decide on her own. and sooner or later shes gonna have to let go and get someone honest. but for now, let her have fun while it lasts

Answer #2

shes all grown up now you really cant do anything she has to learn from her own mistakes. but sooner or later she might or might not realize who her boyfriend really is. all you can do is support her and be ready and never say “I told you so” when ever she realizes hes not the one.

Answer #3

well to be honest its not really your decision to do anything because she is old enough but I think it is your responsability to support her with who ever she goes out with and be there for her if she needs to talk

and I no as a mum you will be mad at him for things but to be honest a relationship isnt one if it doesnt have any arguments just guid her through this

Answer #4

You can’t do anything, I’m afraid.

She’s an adult now and capable of making her own decisions…and her own mistakes.

Just be prepared to take her in when she needs you to…every time she needs you to, and try helping her build up her self esteem a bit so she can see the situation for what it really is.

Answer #5

You have no control of what she does but if she ever asks your opinion, give it.

Answer #6

…an abusive person doesn’t just stop being abusive…

If he ‘was’ doing it, he still is.

Answer #7

well the parent didnt say that he was still abusing her or hurting her now did he?!

Answer #8

~let her have fun while it lasts~

That relationship is your idea of ‘fun’?
