Seriously, living under a bridge or in a cardboard box are the only alternatives I can think of that are worse than staying in this situation. And I'm pretty sure she has other options, since she has a father who cares about her and wants her to move.

Purse_aholic, I don't mean to be harsh, or make assumptions about your life; please forgive me if I'm getting carried away. I just firmly believe that women should be empowered and not be afraid to be alone. Love yourself and take care of yourself, don't depend on another person for emotional comfort. You're leaning on a crutch that's extremely unstable. It sounds like your father loves you and wants what's best for you, don't trade that for a creep who makes you feel bad! If there's anyone in life you can count on, it's your family.

Again, I apologize if I've gone too far, but I feel that this is the best advice I could give with the information you've provided. I only want to help.

Don't give up on romantic love! There are soooo many people out there you have yet to meet, including good, trustworthy men who will treat you well. But you won't be able to meet them if you stay with the wrong guy.
