I know, she was stupid for going ahead with it, he no doubt gave her a sob story as to why he lied and by that point she had strong feelings for him and as they say (supposed) love is blind.
There isn’t much she can do now about the mistake of marrying him and the discussion about how and why people get themselves in this situation is probably for another thread.
I was trying to understand if there is any other support out there for families where their child has turned into a complete twat with abusive behaviour.
There will no doubt be single parents out there that face similar problems where it isn’t through divorce and the other parent has passed away so there isn’t the choice to send the child to the other parent. What support do they get to deal with such a situation?
