Hi,
I have this friend and her partner is a bit of a cocklodger and is abusive verbally and physicaly at times. I never got it why she was so patient with him. she has 2 small kids.
today we were talking about people we used to know and i mentioned x that used to live there then went to prison, and she said"was her name x or xina?" so i said yeah xina, and she said do you know what she went to prison for, and i said yes i never spoke to her after she told me about what she did, and she said the girl that it happened to was me.
Ok so basically, this girl was in prison for kidnapping another girl and getting her gangraped and filming it.
So then we talked a bit, and she was telling me how her current partner supported her through that time, encouraged her to call police and go to trial, and supported her through out the trial etc.
and i satrted understanding why she put up with so much. she was living in a hostel she had no support, this man was the only one helping her.
Leave the bastard doesnt seem so simple now.
So what should i be advising her about her abusive relationship?
