I posted about my best friend here a little while ago.
The financial situation was never sorted properly but she had drawn a line under it. (he still owes her money, but she got some, and wrote the rest off, following advice)
Things went quiet for a while. Then he started bombarding her with texts/calls. He wants her back, is not happy in his r'ship bla bla bla. She tried to fend them off, not assertively enough, IMO
Friend lost patience, and (stupidly) went to his house to confront him. He attacked her in the street. She is black and blue from where he dragged her along the ground and kicked her. His partner was there, witnessing this.
The police were called, by both parties. Long story short, they say both were at fault (he said she also assaulted him...she did, in self-defence) and have kept the reports on record. But have given her no support or encouragement to press charges.
I have tried to convince her to press charges. She can hardly walk today and is bruised badly in several places. I have offered to accompany her, get the injuries documented, and take it further.
She refuses.
What else can I say? Sorry this is so long, and I had to link to old thread, but the context is important, I think.
