My cousin is with someone I do not approve of: Advice?

They need to be called what about the safety of the child??? Too late when she gets hurt or worse

Better for the neice to be removed from the home than to end up dead!!

If the abuse continues and she still stays her child will be taken away. Family friend is going thru this and the kids were taken away because she failed to leave the situation multiple times and refused to press charges.

If anything protect your niece.

You should have called the police for the child who has no say. Your nieces safety is at risk. Make that call and be there to help.

Please reach out to her. Confidentiality, let her know you are there to help her. She is mentally beaten down and needs to know someone is there for her.

You need to go on FB to ask if you should call the police are you serious ??? Buy a clue and call the damn police !!!

You don’t need advice you need much help. Instead of calling the cops, you let the woman be abused and left your niece in the way of an abuser. Does that make any sense to you?

Maybe offer her a way out with a place to stay?? If she is in danger and doesn’t have anywhere to go and nobody to help her she’ll likely stay. Offer her an option and hope she has enough sense to take it and then keep her safe!!

Wait…she is YELLING for help and your thought is…
Gee :thinking: I would like to call the police but they’re drunk…
What does one have to do with the other!?
Are you serious!
Plus a child is involved!
Who does that!
Who sits by when a person is screaming for help and a child is present!
I can’t…you’re a mess! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
Are these QUESTIONS REAL!?!

The child is going thru abuse just by being there. Talk to father. Next time call the cops. They place with family first.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s your cousins relationship why are you worried about your niece? A niece a a girl born to one of your siblings. Unless you got some Arkansas crap going on where you sister is your cousin. Sorry not sorry this post doesn’t make sense.

She has to be ready for change. Hopefully she is, then you’ll be able to help her. She has to want help.

Talk to your cousin. If she. Doesn’t listen. Then tell the father. The child comes first. I know it’s family but what if he gets angry at the child cause he’s upset with the mom. You have to do something.

The child should be #1 priority where kn this is the father of the child if he is a good father he should be told of what conditions his daughter is living in and have him remove her than call the law on the boyfriend offer your cousin z Ave to receive support that is what family members should do that is what I would do

She ends up dead it is on you you you

Your cousin is an adult, you can’t force her to do anything…your main concern should be the child. She cannot protect herself. If you jeard her being hit while you were on the phone, you should have called the police. Tell your uncle or whoever you need to.

Allowing her to make her own choices also involves your niece and that is no way for that child to grow up because she will most likely end up in the same type of relationship that’s what she will grow up knowing thinking that that is the way of life talk to her dad first see what he can do if he can’t get through to her then you have to call dcf it’s not a matter of what you want to do it’s what you HAVE to do

The only one that can fix this is her :woman_shrugging:

You can’t make her do what she doesn’t want to do she will leave when she’s ready because she won’t listen I have been there I know

Not calling the cops to save your niece didn’t save your neice

Perhaps you and her Dad could have a conversation first to discuss your concerns and options. There is a child that is potentially in danger here. It is a very short leap from abusing the mother to the child. Especially if alcohol or drug use is involved. Make that call. I have seen this scenario play out both ways. Trust me it is better to take steps to keep them safe than to stand over a hospital bed or grave wishing you had!

Is this a joke? Are you mental? You call the police if you hear your cousin screaming from being hit. This beat down is now not recorded with law enforcement. The more abuse is reported the better the chance of a conviction.
You did her no favors at all. Her child would be removed if CPS deemed her unfit too.

Abuse is abuse no matter who talks to her the abuse may lead to even worse outcome say something just to get her away from that awful crap

Ya lets leave the neice in that environment…that’s as far as i could read so who’s to protect the child Obviously not her family!!

Ya better then me because I would’ve been on my way with the 9

yeah, you need to tell Dad or Brother… someone that will let him now what it feel like…

I am so sorry that your niece is going through this but maybe you should have called the cops I understand you didn’t want her to go to jail also but maybe that would be her wake up call sometimes you gotta hit the total bottom before you can crawl back out And actually see how that person is bringing you down

Watch Eve’s love is blind video and get prepared for that situation if you even think about “letting her make her own choice” smh

Your cousins child
Is not your niece. It’s your parents great niece.
Good luck
To your family.

no, call the police. It will teach them both that they can’t get away with crap like that! And if she doesn’t do something that God would just get worse! Don’t wait for her to be destructive to herself!

First off, talk to her SOBER and tell her what you heard and how it made you upset and that she needs to think about a relationship with this guy a little harder and consider that her child can/will be taken away. That if she doesn’t make changes then the next time you will have to call the cops. DO NOT TELL her that you are going to talk to her dad…if she’s an adult, it is her choice to straighten up for her kid and dump him…if she doesn’t then have a talk with her dad about what you heard and that you’re afraid for her and her child…his grandchild. Then step back, you have done all you can.

Yes tell the family. Esp her Dad

Why not get someone over there to get your niece before he starts hitting that child. If, you don’t want to call the cops. Call her father asap. I hope nothing happens to the child.

If there are children involved get CPS involved. The woman in love won’t listen to reason. She will listen to loss of custody though. Good luck.

Sometimes we need some one to love us …more than we love ourselves …follow your heart…it will tell you what is best…

Call the cops. If its the first time they wont come down so hard…and when it happens again they will be on the radar

Honestly, I hate to say it, but she needs to make up her own mind that she can have something better than this and that she deserves better. You can say something all you want, but until she makes up her mind it will never change the situation. With that said say something! Talk to her about it when she’s sober. Tell her parents & siblings. Offer her a place to go if she wants one. Keep communication lines open and the door for her. Don’t be obsessive over the fact that she deserves better and should leave. Casually mention it and offer her a place to go where she will be safe if/when she decides it’s what she wants. The more you push though the more she’ll stay. I’m speaking from experience. Take my poor leave it, but the best thing anyone ever did for me was back off and let me make my own mind up. The more they pushed the more I stayed. It wasn’t until they stood back that I figured it all out and saw the light, but they were there when I needed them. I will say this too. Be the buffer between them if she comes running to you. Don’t let him in the door and if you can interfere with that phone call do so. Good luck, and prayers for your cousin!

There’s nothing you can do until she wants to leave, she doesn’t care about what you think. She feels love for this person and trust me if you get in her business call the cops or whatever she’ll kick you out of her life before she lets him go so just let her live this toxic portion of her life and pray she doesn’t end up dead in the mean time. It sounds mean I’m sure but I’ve seen it too many times before to not tell you what it is

You need to tell someone before it gets really bad

Get people involved. She could end up dead if you wait too long

Why is your niece living there in the first place? I would get her out of there and look after her myself if she can’t be with her parents, your cousin shouldn’t be looking after her if her n her dickhead of a partner are inebriated :rage:

I believe you need to talk to her about packing her stuff and walking away before something very serious happens. I have siblings who went through the same and almost lost their life.Its not easy but she needs to wake up and get help from the family.Your cousin is in danger.convince her to move on and hide from him.Trust me a guilt in your heart it’s a very bad feeling.Her child shouldn’t have to go through that.
