Dear Queenie,
My daughter’s husband is an abusive control freak who won’t let his wife and child go anywhere without his permission and is constantly checking up on them if they have to go somewhere without him, like to school or to the grocery when he is at work. She is afraid to walk out on him because he has threatened to kill her if she tries.
Queenie, what can I do to protect my daughter and my grandson?—Frightened mother and grandmother
