To be worried about friend.

[pineapplefritter]

My friend has 2 children and has been in a violent relationship for 4 years, I phoned the police to their house countless times when he was abusing her but she’d cover up for him.

She told me she needed to get away so I used my savings to get her a new rental house out of town so he couldn’t find her, which he didn’t and he had no idea where she was. she seemed so much happier and so did the DCs.

I made sure to meet up daily to keep her company as a single parent myself I know how isolating it can feel when you go from a relationship to single.

She hasn’t wanted to meet up this week and confided in me that she’s let him back in to stay over for a few nights and they’ve dtd.

I feel really worried 😥

Hi OP
You've been a really good friend but if your friend keeps taking this person back there is little you can do.
She has to be the one to end this awful relationship.
If you fear for the children's safety you can refer them to the social services safeguarding team.

You are a frigging awesome friend.

Op u r a very good friend but that's her decision. You have drag her to water but can't make her drink. If u push too hard shee might push you back and then be even more vulnerable with her partner. Can you talk to her family , if anyone cam intervene

You’re a really, really lovely friend, OP I wish there were more people like you about!

All I’d suggest is that you keep on being there for your friend and that you support her as best as you can in her current situation, even though I imagine it must be very tough for you to witness

That's incredibly frustrating. She might as well have stayed put and saved you all that money and emotional investment.
