Friends of Price Scope,
I need your advise.
I have a close female friend in an escalating abusive relationship with a man.They have been dating for about 4 months He continually demeans her,says she cannot contact her friends or family and calls her the C word and worse when she texts us.yesterday she broke up with him after he became physically and verbally aggressive with her. we spent hours discussing that she has value and how she can get counseling, financial help and spiritual guidance through us, her church, and the community. within 24 hours she was back with him asking him to forgive her!I know she has abuse in her background,just went through a divorce within the last year, and has had severe medical and financial problems,but im having the hardest time understanding how to deal with this situation because she knows hes not good for her! how can I (and her family)help her before this guy escalates past pushing! The one other thing is that this man is in a leadership role in her church and we are afraid that if we report this to the church,he will retaliate against her for loosing his position.What advise can you give!Thanks.
