Dear Donnie,

   My step daughter is getting ready to marry a loser! She is only 19 years old, but has fallen in love with a total idiot. This guy has 3 differnt kids from 3 different women. He doesn't keep up with his child support, and he's always borrowing money from her. He treats her badly, he says very rude things to her and seems to thinks it's ok to treat her like a cave woman. We had hoped the engagement would end, but all of a sudden they told us they were getting married in two weeks at his home. We don't condone this relationship, and her father and I know it will end in disaster, probably with a new innocent baby to suffer. We are really thinking about not going to the wedding, mostly as a protest & partly because I don't think I can bear to watch this. I told her that I wasn't sure we could be part of it and she fell apart, and it broke my heart. What should we do? I think not going may be our last chance to save her.
