The article features two urgent letters for advice. The first writer is in an abusive relationship and seeks help to escape and protect her children. Abby stresses the importance of contacting the National Domestic Violence Hotline and creating a safety plan. The second letter discusses a mother who feels helpless watching her addicted daughter deteriorate and lose relationships. Abby acknowledges her love but emphasizes the need for the mother to accept her limitations in helping her daughter, whose actions have led to her isolation.
Your abuser doesn't care about your feelings. All he cares about is having a live-in maid and bed partner.
Take the children and stay with them until you can find employment and start earning enough to get back on your feet.
If you don't get out of there ASAP, they will grow up thinking this is normal.
I love my daughter dearly, but I realize I can't help her in any way now. She has burned all her bridges.
