I haven't heard a word from her since New Year's eve.
You posted this on January 3. It has been less than three days since you heard from hear and you seem pretty concerned. How often do you expect to hear from your twenty-three year old daughter?
Since she is not living with you, is three days a long time not to hear from her? I know plenty of parents whose 23 year olds call once every week or two or even once every few weeks.

I'm concerned because her ex roommate expressed to me that she evicted my daughter because my daughter and her boyfriend were physically fighting (without going into detail) and it was pretty alarming ... and my daughters best friend called me alarmed because she hadn't heard from her ... then she reluctantly told me that my daughter and her boyfriend had gotten into a fight on Christmas day and the details were alarming ... so now in my mind, my daughter is out there somewhere, homeless and in the clutches of a man that beats her. I think I have good reason to be alarmed. She doesn't have a phone (I think it may have gotten smashed in the fight) ... so if she is in trouble, she can't call anyone.
There has been times that she hasn't called and I haven't spoken to her in weeks, and I'm concerned but not alarmed... when I reach out to her during those times, she does at least call back and she seems to be in good spirits. In this case, I can't reach her and neither can her best friend.

Thank you for the clarification. I had forgotten that you said that she had been kicked out of her friend's apartment/home because of fighting with her boyfriend. When she calls you, hopefully it will be soon, you could give her the contact information for a battered women's shelter in your area.
I am soo ready to do just that! I'm moving forward ... I just can't deal with it anymore. You're absolutely right ... it's her life and she should finance it herself!
yes stop financing her behavior. She will just have to learn the hard way and bailing her out prevents that learning.

Thank you. I hadn't considered a battered women's shelter. If (when) I get in contact with her, I am going to see if I can talk her into getting some counseling ... I don't know where her self-esteem went. He doesn't care about her and that's evident to everyone but her ... in the meantime she has turned her back on everyone who cares about her. She has alienated herself from people who could help her ...
More likely changed the name to something only her friends know.
Well actually, the page was disabled... I had her sisters check from their pages and a friend of mines searched her name ... but the page was enabled as of yesterday. She hasn't posted anything though. I did try to inbox her, doesn't appear that she has read them ...

Hope you at least hear soon that she is ok.
