[quote=Anonymous]Bad bad situation with girlfriend. Very toxic and sometimes violent. I have suggested and even offered to pay for therapy, physical exam, etc. Of course he says no. But now it's impacting his kids who have to watch this crap go on (daily yelling screaming cussing, and some rises to the level of emotional abuse). It's impacting the kids' mental health and now their schooling.

I know I can't make him do anything. But I wondered if someone who's been in such a toxic relationship before had any advice on what, if anything, someone could say or do to help them leave. He knows deep down its bad. He just thinks he can change her.

And how bad do things have to be to call CPS? I don't witness these things. I hear about them through the kids.  Nobody is hitting the kids. But just about everything else you can imagine is happening.  2 Kids are in middle school. One is a high school freshman.  Would CPS listen to me? He won't let the kids go to therapy either. I've told them they can talk to their school counselors. I don't know what else to do. [/quote]
