I have reason to believe that my girlfriend is being emotionally abused by her parents. I do not have enough evidence to go to the police with. Another problem is that she is mentally disturbed (not retarded) as a result of being born several months prematurely and wouldn't recognize it if she was being abused. What should I do?

If this is serious, call cps?

Slip voice recorder in her pocket, reaquire in 2 days.

Find out the truth.

Can you be more specific? Also what kind of abuse are we talking about here?

I understand if theirs no response because answers to those questions can be very personal.

And you can't just ask her if she is or isn't? You can't just ask her to tell you exactly what's going on?

And why would a premature birth have anything to do with it? My sister was born prematurely, and is no different from me, except that her immune system is weaker.

This, except well hidden in her house, as, unlike DM here, I'm sure your GF changes her clothes at LEAST once every two days.

I can't just ask her because she probably wouldn't recognize it if she was being abused. I'm only speculating when I say her being premature has anything to do with it.

However, now that I've calmed down (I was really pissed because her parents decided she couldn't go to a school dance after earlier saying she could) and talked to my parents/her, I've decided I'm over-reacting and/or looking for a reason to be angry at her parents. This can be locked.

Also, DM, that is a retarded suggestion and you should kick yourself in the balls for thinking it would work.

There's no need to overreact.

Yes, her parents stopping you from getting your jollies with her = abuse.

EDIT:

I just can't leave this alone... Are you really so upset over some dumb dance or a couple of other missed dates or aborted phone calls that you'd really be willing to up-heave her entire life and home? Do you want to take care of her? You're still a kid yourself.

Okay, okay, I'm done... Just think things through a little better.

Seeing the result at the end, all I can say is thank god you came to your senses in the end.. emotional abuse is much more serious than all that, as I hope you realize.
