Has to happen this time around...

SD is living with a boyfriend/pimp and he is abusing her. He's victimizing her to the point where even she is afraid of him! This girl fears no thing or person. Of course, cynical me, she has no transportation since her mom reported the car taken without consent and SD was arrested for that. There was also a bench warrant out for her for skipping bail and being a no show in court. It's possible that she just wants to take our car and ride back to the guy.
This could be a 'cry wolf' thing on her part but I have zero tolerance for domestic abuse and enabling addicts, I do not do that crap to people and I will not tolerate it being done to me! 9t
After a long chat with DH we decided that it's time she toed the line a bit and stayed here. The biggest concern I have is that she'll take the car, DH said he'll outline everything 'for her information' and if she takes the car that's IT!! We are done.
I cannot refuse to help her, I do not want to refuse to help the girl in a violent situation like that, but it's time she learned that doing what she wants gets her into these situations and now it's time to do as she's instructed. No more dancing and doing tricks, drugs or hanging with those people. I cannot blame these people, SD makes her own choices and she is responsible for the mistakes she's made but if she really wants to make it decently then she has to do was we instruct her to do. She'll go stir crazy, hate us alternately...maybe even simultaneously! This really is the make or break. Her twin brother now has a job that's going to pay him well enough to give us rent...he'll be moving on because he does not like paying rent! (chuckle) He'll also move because his twin sister is coming! They cannot get along at all. On the plus side I feel vindicated because DH is going to implement the things I have been asking for all along! I am still very dubious about the whole thing but, like I said, I cannot stand back and watch her become a victim, I am already concerned that she has stockholm syndrome! It's not going to be easy but here goes...

Well, we got to the address to discover SD's boyfriend had a very sore jaw and she had beaten the shit out of him!! He was begging for mercy, apparently, and she STILL would not leave him! He says he will never lift his hand to her again. We've warned her what could happen but we cannot help her unless she's willing to help herself. We now know where they live and we are just going to take it softly softly for now. Trying to get a physical address from them was like pulling hen's teeth! He was horribly insecure as we left with her, we actually did visit with her grandmother and took her back to their apartment, at her request. Now he knows we will bring her back it makes the actual escape easier if it's something she wants to do.
Am I bad for feeling relieved she isn't coming here?
