Replies to '07/24 Teen Dating and Abuse'

I just wanted to let you know that I am so proud of the decision that you made for yourself to get out of the dangerous situation that you were in.  I pray every day that my daughter opens her eyes and gets out of the situation that she's in. I am scared to death that she is going to end up marrying this guy. I have talked to her until I don't even know what else to say. Everyone in her family has tried to talk to her but it does no good...she says that she's in love and according to her he would never phyically abuse her....she has promised me that he has never physically abused her but I know that he has been verbally abusive.Her friends have told me that they've seen him push her up against her car and get in her face numerous times and one of her best friend's told me that my daughter told her about a time when he locked her in the bathroom when she was at his house and told her that she could come out when she learned how to act...she however says that none of this is true. He's had to be escorted out from the place that she works for yelling at her on two different occasions and has now been banned  from the property of her school because he got verbally abusive with the principal over a cell phone. She will be 18 next month and I am scared to death that she is going to end up either moving in with him or marrying him. I don't know what to do anymore...I can't sleep, my stomach is constantly upset and my husband is dealing with the same thing. I'm trying to reach out to as many people as I can at this point..I don't know what else to do. So any advice would be very much appreciated.
