Thanks again for advice. I was able to talk to DD some more. The police told him to leave her alone. He tried to downplay meaning of the letter but they told him in no uncertain terms that they had read it and it was inapproproate. She has not stayed there since but has gone back with a friend to get clothes, check mail and frig. There have been no more notes or attempts at contact. She is working with a local women’s defense person for her next action.

Some might have missed that she is 24 and working. One of the hardest things about parenting this age is that you cannot swoop in and do what is not requested. I cannot move her or make her do what she does not want to do. I have relayed many of your kind suggestions. She will take action as she sees fit. I have offered to come to her. She has not taken me up on it yet. She did not even call me until she had managed the first couple of days herself, including staying with friends and managing the police. They grow up and all we can do is be there to support them, give them what advice is solicited and pray a lot. Wings and roots.
