Question - (27 January 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 January 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I became close friends really quickly with this one girl who has a nine-month old daughter (my friend and I are both turning 19) and she and her boyfriend recently broke up. Now this is the kind of guy that goes crazy under stress. I told her to leave ASAP, but she just never listened. She was mainly with him because of their daughter, but now...things are just shit with those two. He mentally and physically abuses her and sometimes, even their child and I just want to know how I can help her out. She already knows I'm there for her and she can seek refuge at my house (but it's already crowded to the rim). I just don't know how to deal with this...

Help!

I think you should maybe talk to your friend

because maybe if this guy goes mad he will

end up doing something he regrets or he may damage his child your friend will soon see through everything but i think you need to stick by her and help her along the way as much as you can im sure she'll apreciate it X

Romeo Wife agony auntYou should talk to her and show her than she deserves better, things can get really bad for her and the baby if she doens't do anything about it, if you see that things are worsening and she's not reacting and you should tell someone else about it, someone who can help her! No one deserves to be mentally or physically abused and her daughter shouldn't have to go through this, if this man cannot get over it then you should contact the police perhaps and see if they can do anything to keep him away from her!!

Be very careful with her though, she must be really hurt and must need someone to talk to all the time, speacially being so young and having a kid already!

Hope this helps!

Take care!
