writes: My ex-girlfriend is having problems with her current boyfriend. At the moment she is still having post coming to my house which I am relaying to her by meeting up with her. I have moved on since we split up and got a new girlfriend but her boyfriend is still suspicious that I am still interested in her. My ex-girlfriend has met my new girlfriend and they get on great. Last night she got beaten up as her boyfriend saw me driving away from where my ex-girlfriend now lives and got suspicious.I am still friends with my ex-girlfriend but I am concerned for her safety as he is a violent man.Do you have any suggestions as to what she can do as she doesn't know where to turn?

 Because I don't know what country/state she lives in, I can only suggest she check the local phone directory. The government listings will show something along the lines of "women's services" or "domestic violence", or something similar.
The women who advise on these phone lines will have contact numbers and the names of services specifically set up to assist women like your ex. Tell her not to be put off simply because she's not married to the big galoot. These services are free and they're for any woman in need of them. At best, they'll be able to suggest specifics of how to keep this man away and to stay safe. At very worst, they can tell her who she can turn to and where she can get help.
Failing that, contact the local police and ask for someone who can advise about domestic violence.
Good luck.

 Tell her to go to the police and get a restraining order against him. Then she should change the locks if he has a key to her place. She should avoid going any place that he might go and she shouldn't go anywhere alone if possible.
