Emotional and mental abuse NEED HELP

Postby Patrick33 » Mon Feb 16, 2015 9:22 am

Well this girl and this guy have been together for awhile now I think I'm not to sure and it's not me if you're wondering but I guess they were drinking one night and he flipped out over stupid things and put his hands on her left marks all over her and he even harmed himself he is like messing her head all up and she's really scared and doesn't want to leave him from fear on what he would do to himself what he would do to her and how his family would hate her if she broke up with him because he doesn't want to tell them and be embarrassed which is crazy in my opinion but I know this isn't the first girl he's done this to he's done it to the last two girls he's been with, I've been trying to talk to her and try to talk some sense in her head about how this abuse isn't gonna go away and it only gets worse from there he is always saying if you leave me I'll do this if you don't hang out with me I'll do this to myself and he blocked my number on her phone just all kinds of stuff I genuinely care about her and she doesn't deserve to be going through this what can I do to help her see a clear image and trust me that I'm right?

Hi Patrick..

hmnn.. I wish that I had a solution here but unfortunately, only the people involved in the abusive relationship can really change anything or decide to finish it.

All i can really suggest is that you simply be there for her.. you can't make her see that he won't ever change and you can't rescue her from this.. simply keep your hand outstretched and let her choose to hold on to it when she's ready to.
By all means please give her some printed material on abuse; what it is and how to spot it.. you can probably pick up a leaflet from your local doctors or hospital.
Direct her to this site as well if she has internet access.. she'd be very welcome here.

A suggestion if i may though.. don't keep bringing the subject up and don't keep trying to push your opinion of things at her.. if you do this then it's more than likely she'll need to end your friendship because it will cause stress for her.
Keep in touch with her - text her.. meet up with her.. to do this, you may well need to pretend to like the guy she's with..

xx
Shine me a light up
and i'll run round the moon..

You could go further. Don't just pretend to like the guy. Get to know him. It might be worth trying to get him to get help as well. Sometimes the person doing the abuse doesn't actually know that they're doing it. They lash out, but don't think of it as abuse. If they're able to see things more clearly, they may be able to get help.
