Gosh I need help here.
My friend needs to make a choice, and a big one.
When she was very young she was abused sexually by her moms boyfriends. There was a man nextdoor who she turned to for comfort. That was a grown man who knew she was abused but did nothing. He ended up moving 2,000 miles away. She is now 24, and he is in his 40s. She told me of all this abuse about 2 years ago. Im her co-worker, and she is over 10 years younger then me. I started speaking to this man, because he knew more baout the abuse then I did. It was easier for her to talk to me after the fact I knew about the abuse. They both still talk on the phone and write snail mail. He then would start telling me things she didnt want me to know, and then there her stepdad. It turns out she is now being abused by her dad, and we are in the same situation. When she was younger he could have saved her. Now her being an adult, its in her hands. I feel powerless.
(see more details)Twisted relationship, need help with advice?
well the best u can do is be there for her and tell her to be a big girl and get out when she feels its the safest to do so...abusive people often are dangerous...if she ends up going at the wrong time she will end up getting more hurt than usual...but if she doesnt get out soon she will end up the same way or worse...i think she needs to distant herself from her mother's mates because there seems to be a pattern...there are hotlines she is able to call to help her cope and get out...i think the national one is...1-800-799-SAFE (7233)..but only she can get out all u can do is be there for her on her worst and best days...help her gain a feeling of more self worth...often abused people have low self-esteem/ confidence about themselves...infact a lot of em feel like they are a waste of space and its their fault and are very unstable emotionally and mentally..... best u can do is try to boost her ego and her courage and give her any help she needs and possibly report the situation...maybe get one abuser/rapist off the streets for a bit...she is an adult, she has to make her own decissions.Twisted relationship, need help with advice?
u should tell her to report this to the police and she should tell her mother about this abuse. since she's working now tell her to find an own home, move out from there.
why does people doesn't trust police anymore....
