Just When You Think It Can't Get Worse..... It Does!!!!

So, I've reposted an entry from the old Blog. It's here mostly because I look back at that date and the emotion I was feeling and know that, while I thought the situation was the worst we'd seen with Jess, it has escalated to the level of Lifetime Movie. It almost sounds like a joke. But, truly, the situation is getting out of hand. Something like 2 weeks ago, my mom was scheduled to work 3rd shift at her hospital (She's an RN). Jessica was there waiting for her in the parking lot. Mom was immediately concerned. Jess told her she needed gas money and began to cry saying that the boyfriend had burned her with cigarettes, and hit her and that she was so tired of him treating her like crap. Well, long story short most of that was true. He has been burning her with cigarettes, he's been hitting her and we've since learned that he also choked her and ripped the rear spoiler off her car. The untruth... She's not tired of it. In fact, she moved out of my parents' house and in with the ass. Despite the pleas from friends and family, she insists that he LOVES her and that she LOVES him and that despite the bad, he's going to change!!! Tonight, I was at my parents' house. Jess stopped to get her mail. She came inside alone. I thought that meant she'd been smart enough to leave the boyfriend at his mother's. She completely ignored my dad and I. Tried stirring up my mom (I think she may be on the verge of wanting to come home, but wants my mom to beg her to do it) and left without another word. I left a short time after she did. I walked out to my car to find that the ass had been with her and had thrown empty cigarette cartons and various other articles of garbage all over my car. It seems like such a small thing... But now, not only has she been beaten by this creep, but she's seen him treat her family without even a hint of respect (Last time I saw him, he called me a worthless piece of shit... You know... Because I have a good job, and a car, and my own apartment... And he has a fraudulent workman's comp claim and an unemployment check coming in each month, no vehicle and lives with his mother) and he called my sister Sarah an F***ing whore in front of Jessica. I do not, at all, in the least, understand why she still believes that he is going to be the love of her life and we're all just against her and that we don't want her to be happy.
