DEAR DEIDRE: THEY say a leopard can never change its spots, yet my daughter believes her violent, good-for-nothing ex is a new man.
I’m convinced he’s going to hurt her again, but she believes he’s reformed and they’re getting on better than ever.
At 55, I’ve seen a lot more of the world than my 29-year-old daughter. However, she won’t listen to my warnings.
She was with her ex-boyfriend for six years, from the age of 20. He’s four years older than her.
Throughout their relationship he was controlling and emotionally abusive, and this turned into physical violence when she got pregnant.
