Hello there, ....
I've been so blessed to have this forum since I joined almost 6 months ago.
I've been very active on the pain forums......but this is a whole different twist...

Needing support or input/advice/suggestions on how to handle this situation.

My 23yr old daughter (recently graduated college w/degree in Psychology) has been in a relationship with a man whom I've tried my hardest to give the benefit of the 'doubt'..... Their relationship has moved rather quickly (6 months) and now we find out she's 2 months pregnant. Unmarried...

Well, he is proving himself to be irresponsible, doesn't hold down a job, has been in a bit of legal trouble and has a tendency toward physical abuse, served jail time and is now on probation. Their relationship has crumbled and it is obvious that my girl will have to go thru this pregnancy without him in the picture. She has plenty of love and support from myself and the rest of her family, so I have no concerns regarding her getting thru this pregnancy.

My 'concern' is the fact that he has abusive tendency (currently attending anger mgmt) and for the welfare of my daughter's safety.

Other than making this 'not-so-good' choice with this guy, she is a very responsible young woman, works hard, just bought a house (with my help in getting her 'on her feet') and has a heart of gold, but her soft heart has attributed her to falling victim to this swindling, fast-talking, loser.

My husband and I are getting the locks changed at her house while she is at work today and this guy will be picking his belongings up soon.

Her pregnancy has made her prone to being very emotional and irritable....she has battled depression in the past and this emotional/irritability has cost her relationships in the past......
For concern of her safety, I've practically begged her to try her hardest to remain as 'calm' as possible during this ugly breakup, so as to not provoke his abusive behavior....
I'm worried and want to do whatever I can to 'be here' for her and support her emotionally.

I'm just not sure how to handle this guy, not knowing how he may react as this plays out.

......anyone?
