Hello, I want to get some advice as I have a friend who is in a relationship that is not good at all. I don't want to give any details here as it would be outting, but basically I care about this friend a great deal, and if they lived nearby I would be able to support with childcare/errands etc. as she is dealing with so much stuff.

However I'm geographically too far away for that, other than supportive texts is there anything I can do? For anyone who's been in that situation which friends were the most helpful? What things can I say to be helpful? I'm deliberately steering away from 'you should leave' as I don't think that's helpful given the details I know (none of it is straightforward), and lots of her other friends are saying that too so it's not like she hasn't heard it.

Any advice would be most appreciated, thank you.

Well you cant make her leave so just be supportive and non judgemental

Yes that’s what I’m doing. I just feel so worried for her and so helpless!
