My son is in an abusive relationship-how can I help him?

My son, (21)who lives at home is in an abusive relationship. He knows he's in an abusive relationship. She is vile to him, has no job, uses him for money. She's nearly lost him his job. She calls him 100's of times a day. She looks through his phone. He's not allowed to see friends. She's tried to sabotage his relationship with family members. She's told him that I'm in love with him and our family relationship is incestuous. His sibling hates her so I have banned her from the house. I am so depressed about it, it pains me to see him being treated like this.
He's stated that he just can't leave her, it's like a mental block.
Last night I gave him with telephone numbers for men's DV advice lines which he intends on calling.
We do talk about it because I've been there and get it.
What else can I do to help him?

I'm really relieved for him and you to read this!

That's a great update. I hope the police do arrest her.

Note you can focus on your son. Would he do counselling? Might be helpful.
