This is the short version - honest! I reported friend's DH to the police for breaking her arm. He now has a criminal record and may have trouble getting work/may have lost his job, not sure if he would even have done time but doubt it. She clearly wants to make it work with him. She told me in confidence it was him broke her arm, struck her in front of the kids, I questioned her because she'd had another broken bone 18 mos before. I've seen her with bruises, she told me of other assaults. Things haven't been going well for them for a few years but they were together more than a decade before the violence began. Her family think I did the right thing, but obviously it caused trouble for my friend as she wasn't ready to leave him. Women's Aid had said it should be reported to police and I had no idea it would go so far as it has but it's done now. She had no other real friends but me and now I'm 'unfriended'. I can understand she's pissed with me but don't want to abandon her. Have experienced some MH issues over the whole thing myself but on a more even keel now. All kicked off six months ago, court case done and dusted. Should I be getting in touch again and let her push me away if she wants or should I just leave them be and hope it works out?
