Domestic violence, what should I do?

Ummm... if you're in the United Stats, that's against the law... You need to call the police... ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I would contact a hotline or the police because they can give you information on a safe house in your area where abused women can go to live and be hidden by abusive spouses. I know because I was one and this was something that was offered to me but my situation was not as dire and so I didn't feel it was necessary and it wasn't. I would definitely look it up online for your area or like I said, you can contact the police for information of safe houses in your area. Something needs to be done however, before it's too late for this woman.

i guess its up to her to leave or not. i am quite sure that if she makes up her mind that wants to leave this man once and for all, many non NGOs will be willing to help her and start a new life. the only thing you can do is talk to her on why she allows this to happen to her... if you are able to talk to her, maybe you can talk her out of it.

Of course you must call the police and intervene. No woman shouldhave to go through this. And the longer that women stay in abusive relationships, the harder it is for her to leave. She will survive if she leaves him.

Tell her to e-mail info@susieluchsinger.com Susie is a survivor of Domestic Violence and she would be more then willing to help someone I know. Even if she just wants someone to lend an ear. Susie will not force anything down her throat. But she will try to help her.

the only thing to do is leave the situation...u kno..my aunt went through the same thing and now she has came to her senses and left him and pressed charges...so thats the only thing u can to is leave

I dont know about your area but I do know in Ontario which is where I'm from, shelters actually not only get a woman and her kids out of the home/into somewhere safe but they also help them find jobs and low income housing etc... There is no such thing IMO as "can't"....she CAN and she SHOULD but sometimes leaving is a terrifying thing since the abuser not only beats you down physically and emotionally but also beats down your self esteem and makes you feel like you really "can't".. why hasnt anyone called the police on this guy?? andn you said you want to help her BUT does she want the help?? If so then there are plenty of ways for her to get out of there...

actually its her life. she has her own problem for which she is not able to come out of that marriage. you can help her by finding some suitable job for her if that is actually possible for you. it can make a big difference.

Well, she needs out of there and I am sure that there is a shelter or something that she could go to until she can get on her own. Please do whatever you can to help her. Help her get a job, give her some money, stc. Anything that you can do would be a help to her. I am sure that she wishes that someone would help her as she is suffering daily I am sure. Domestic abuse is not a silent issue. If more people would speak out about this and the abusers would suffer some consequences, then the problem might be more in control.

You can help her actually. If you want, you can advice her to find some work online or anywhere she want to. Being financially capable, she may eventually think of leaving his husband for good. Also, you can call the police or the social welfare department of your community for them to act on this violence.

you can try to talk to her or call the police when you hear the abuse going on. there really isn't a lot that you can do as she is the one that has to do it. sadly her esteem is probably so low that she won't. No one should have to live like that and even with no income...there is always a way. There is help for women like her.

Perhaps u can make use of legal weapon to help her out of domestic violence.for that woman,i think the best way and the only way was too break up with that man cos the man is not really a man(real man should protect her not beat her),and there's no love emotion between them as it should.i dont think she could not survive by herself,she could find a easy job for earn money and rely on friends.

I have a friend whose case is a reverse one. He is having a hell of a time with his wife.Could you tell something about males too being tortured mentally by women? Verbal abuse? and black mailing. I am of the view that counseling is best for both the parties.

Call the police, help her find a job and a shelter that she can go to. What evr you do help her get out of that situation before it get worse. Because it always gets worse. There are many places she can go to get help. There are many shelters that will help people that are dealing with domestic abuse. Do some research and find those shelters and aid in your area then get her out of ther. But make sure that she has the help she needs and a plan to make leaving as easy as possible or she will end up going back to him. Just help her get out.
