She's a grown woman. Accept that you re not responsible for her, continue to be a confidante (if you can handle it), and realize that you can't "fix" it. Don't try to intervene; it may make her situation worse, and you may also find yourself on the receiving end of violence, as well. The problem is not so much her abusive boyfriend, as it is her psychological status. If you are not a licensed psychologist, or MSW, or trained counselor, understand that you are not qualified.

Abuse is not just physical but emotional too and not only by men but ladies too

Be very concerned for her safety, and at least call the police with the last description of the incident. She must have a record of violence. Just state that you are concerned based on what she has told you. God forbid if they have kids especially it is an absolute as they are witnessing this, and it can have very serious consequences in their lives. Hope this helps, and remember karma is a 44444 and he will get his when God get's hold of him.

Joshua, it's great that you are looking out for her. Here is the thing, she's not going to listen to you because she most likely has convinced herself that it's okay. That there is good times and she shouldn't leave. Women who are abused are also manipulated to think it's their fault or that it was a "mistake". If you are truly worried for her safety, then I suggest you make a police report.

Joshua, just don't listen the next time she complains. She's just looking for a shoulder to cry on. If she really wanted to help herself she would go and take a restraining order out on him and go and get herself some serious counseling.

Dear Joshua,

I would not get too drawn into this, but maybe you could be supportive emotionally, because, regretfully, as a woman thats a mother, and I have been in that situation before that its never okay to inflict fear or harm upon another, but sometimes there is more psychological abuse also. There can be threats to harm her children, pets, or the people she loves. Additionally, if there is a lot of cash that the boyfriend is giving her, which can be difficult for her to leave. There are many dirty tricks, and never something anyone wants to hear. Give her the number to a hotline that can help! Thats the best advice is for her to get counseling. I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Help her in anyway you can. It's best that she doesn't even know you are. Why do I say this? because if she knows and whom ever is abusing her, she will tell them. I was beaten from my first husband. No one knows what it is like unless you are the one being abused. It's the hardest and scariest positions to be in. And whom ever said women do not like to be alone, well you are a fool. It's not chromosomes that determines the want of being alone, its personality.

Unfortunately that is not your problem if you feel that it has to escalate I would go to your supervisor or manager and say that you're concerned for her safety and let them deal with it but you can't deal with it you're not a police officer or a psychiatrist she needs help real help and she needs to go to the right a thority

I would like everyone to cool off, and check out my song dreams/poem blue october really personal hope you enjoy
