I recently learned from a mutual friend that a dancer friend of mine is involved in an abusive relationship with her bf. She left him after he physically assaulted her; but he's been emotionally abusive for some time. Even now, he's called her to insult her and make her feel she can't do any better than him. NOBODY deserves that kind of treatment.
I've known this girl for a few months. I met her at her club as a customer; but we just seemed to hit it off as friends. We meet for lunch and talk on the phone a few times a week. I care about her and this situation worries me greatly.
I found out about services to help her (restraining orders, etc.). Of course, I'd do anything I could as well. I'm not sure how best to bring up the subject (I don't want her to feel that I'm intruding in her life.) From those who've had experience with abuse, is there anything a friend did or said that helped or made you feel better? Mainly, I want her to know she's not alone.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
