Have namechanged.
I have a friend who is in a very abusive relationship. Its not violent but it is abusive in every other way. He is trying to control her. She needs to get out desperately. I am really worried for her.
He's doing his best to prevent her from seeing other people ( friends or family), he's withholding money from her and he's constantly checking up on her. He criticizes her so often that its become normal and the atmosphere at home is terrible (which is beginning to impact the children).
I am trying to encourage her to find the confidence to leave. It seems such a step into the unknown. I wish I could help by giving her a place to stay.
I see women's aid written about on here often. Can anyone help me find a way to convince her to call them, even if its just for advice on housing or benefits until she finds a job and gets on her feet?
