I am really tired I have started a new job and everything in the news today is making me a bit emotional. The area I work in deals with a lot of DV.
Yday DS g/f phoned me for advice as her friends b/f who has a long and nasty criminal history has punched her (not DS g/f) in the face.
I advised her to urge her to report to police, contact local DV charity and go refuge etc websites. Also advised her to let this girls Mum know although she ended up in supported housing at 16 and now 19 has no one.
Anyway it turned out DS g/f ended up bringing her here last night I had a good chat with her and persuaded her to contact local DV charity and she stayed here and has my phone number.
She has been to A&E with this bloke today and left and then went back again and told them some story and he has broken her eye socket 
I have been texting her today and have offered to take her to her appt at the eye clinic next week but she is back at her own little room on her own (he’s not there) but U just feel shitty about the whole thing.
Well aware you cannot force anyone to get help but she’s a vulnerable 19 yr old girl and there’s fuck all out there for her unless she is prepared to go to a refuge and he’s done the full on coercive control on her and she’s terrified he’s going to kill himself even though my son his gf and I say with her last night reassuring her he won’t.
