I am so glad she got out. Please get her in counseling as quickly as you can. I would call the domestic violence shelters around to see if they offer it. Being in an abusive relationship does a number on your self esteem, thought process and other things. Depending on how old your DGD is, I would get her in to. Does he know where she is? Prayers for all of you! Kellee's dgd is an infant, just a few months old, if I recall correctly She is an infant. I hope that the legal system also helps to keep the abuser away.

Oh my heavens. That is so frightening and I can see how powerless you felt so far away. I'm glad you are reunited and your daughter and granddaughter are safe!

So pleased that they have a safe haven with you - it must have been very scary for you until she arrived. x

Thank goodness they are safe.
I hope I'm not intruding, but would like to offer some thoughts from personal experience.
Do you/does she think the baby's father will want the baby back? Or to use her as a way to get to the mother?
I would do several things very soon. One, have your dd file a police report. If she has any, any at all bruises, marks, etc, have them photographed at a police station or a hospital.
If he struck her at all, have her immediately go to a doctor or the ER and complain or pain. Immediately. It is something they will ask her if she did if it goes to court. (And then the flip side that his attorney would use would be , "Why would you not go seek medical attention if he injured you?"
Have her write every thing down right now in a sewn binding notebook in pen. Everything that happened the day she left. The reason she left. Her feelings. If she was afraid for her life (this is a big one!) If she was afraid for the welfare of her baby. If he frightened the baby.
Also write down accounts of previous abuse by him. Details are everything.
Have her petition for a Protection From Abuse order. They are a PIA to get. But even if she is not granted one right away, it shows her intent to protect herself.
She needs to have no contact with him.
She also needs to contact your local women's shelter/domestic abuse hotline and ask for advice. They may be able to locate legal help for her if she is low income.
And do find a lawyer for her, as soon as you can.
I am very, very sorry she is going through this. Please PM me if you need a sounding board or have questions. I've been through this.

Bless you. As a woman who fled domestic violence in a previous marriage I thank you on her behalf for supporting and loving her.
Give your Dd a hug for me.

Thank you all. My dd and dgd had to flee an abusive situation with the baby's father. They were 1400 miles away and the logistics weren't easy but dd is currently on my couch and dgd is asleep on my chest. I'm so grateful I was able to get them out safely. Oh no!! I'm SO SO sorry to hear that Kellee. But I'm glad you were able to get her and your dgd to you!!

She is an infant. I hope that the legal system also helps to keep the abuser away. From my experience the legal system sucked on so many levels when it came to domestic violence. I hope she has a better experience. Kellee, I'm so glad they're safe and with you, and that they have family support. Your family is in my thoughts. You don't think your daughter would go back to him, do you?

I am so glad that they are safe with you. There is a lot on your plate, with moving & becoming home owners and now with your dd & dgd added to the mix. Hugs as all of you move forward.

I'm catching up on threads after a couple of days off. I am so glad that you were able to get your daughter and the baby home! I hope that all goes well for them (and you) as you navigate all of the changes. Hugs.
