Thanks for reading and responding.

I'm sorry you feel like you want to slap me. It isn't my intention to get people riled up.

I agree my daughter should have more than one person who loves her unconditionally, and she does. However, for relationships to work there does need to be a desire on both parties to be in the relationship.

As for No.2, I don't have a question about the boyfriend. I only mention it as an illustration of the lies that were being generated, not as the major defining factor in No.1s behaviour.

I believe No.2 is more at risk from her mother than her mother's boyfriend, but unfortunately, we don't live in a world where children are removed from parents easily, and it simply won't happen.
