I don't know what to do. My close friend told me she was breaking with her boyfriend because he cheated on her. I always knew he was a jerk because he didn't respect her or even show her he cared about her. Then she admitted that he had hit her twice and coerced her to do things that she didn't want to do. I agreed that she needed to end things right away and that I wanted her to be safe and was heartbroken that she experienced this. But, he manipulated her into staying with him. I want to scream. He is abusive, but she is too scared of being alone. I can't figure out how to help, and I am so worried about what else he might do to her. - Human
