ORIGINAL: Starbuck09 You also have a duty of responsibility to report this to the army anyway prinsexx Not under this jurisdiction she doesn't (just translating) Pirate now think about this. If an officer/recruiter/whatever were to get a call from a civilian, complaining that her daughters love interest was abusive prior to his enlistment...how much credence would said official give to the report? There is no police report to back up the complaint. There are no hospital reports showing the daughter was injured. There is simply a woman (who if she values her license is NOT reporting this young man as a therapist) that may sound like a parent is pissed off that this young man rejected her daughter for a career. At last some sense. Also: the streets are littered with stuff like this going on on a Saturday night. The E R rooms are packed full of young girls and drunken louts. There were no witnesses. I will lose her trust...at least she phoned me and I got her home. If i intervene in their relationship believe me she will take his side and not mine. If I report him to the Police nothing will happen except a warning. I do not want to press charges even if i did it would ruin the sheer effort this younfg man has put into turning his life around. And believe me it is a remarkable turn around. He will learn to pick on men of his own size in the Army rather than young women. It will be the finest lesson he will ever learn. There is a very very fine line between this happening as an act of bodily harm and this happening as an expression of sheer grief between them that he is going away. Too young to vote but old enough to have consensual sex and die for his country. The difference between how it is being viewed here is layered, layer upon layer of morality and conformist values about teenage behaviour/the obligatory nature of therapy and indeed submissiveness. In my opinion. my first thought after reading this: What the hell did you start the thread for? My second thought (assuming your daughter is a minor) Who is the parent here? Guess what...there are times our kids HATE us..swear they will never again trust us, take the side of the abuser over us, yada, yada, yada. In the long run...so what? Let her hate you, let her say she has lost trust in you, let her take the side of an abuser who will no longer be a part of her life. She will be ALIVE to do so. Stop trying to be her best friend. She has friends. She needs you to be a mother. Start the paper trail now. Take photos of the abuse, make a police report, do whatever you have to do. I swear to you...in the long run you will win her respect.
