Ask Her If The Person is Taking a Toll on Her Self Esteem
It's a good question to ask her. If she answers yes that her self esteem is being shattered by the abusive relationship then ask her if she thinks it is healthy. She is going to say no it isn't healthy in most cases in how someone usually responds to that question. It will help her realize that she is getting weaker. Inform her that you've noticed that she has been getting very weak over the last few months or years.
Ask Her If She Wants To Keep Exposing Her Children To The Abuse
Inform her that it isn't a good idea to subject the children to the abuse in the relationship. Say it very carefully in a concerned way asking her if she wants her daughter or son to grow up thinking that abuse is okay. Ask her how she would feel if years later her daughter ended up in an abusive relationship. Tell her that her keeping the kids in an abusive relationship only teaches them that is abuse is acceptable behavior.
Inform Her That She Isn't Stuck
Some women feel stuck in the relationship like there is no way out. Offer to help her any way possible. Offer to let her stay at your house even if she doesn't ask you since she might be scared to ask you. She might feel like a burden to everyone around here. Let her know that she has people that care about her. Let her know that she is welcome at your home. She might not feel welcome anywhere if her own family won't let her come back home. Some parents won't allow a woman to move back home no matter what.
Take Her To A Victim of Domestic Violence Class
Several domestic violence classes have therapists in the room. She may feel more comfortable talking in a front of a group that is going through the same thing as her. She may be convinced to leave after she talked to a therapist in the group for a little while. She wants to know that she is not alone deep inside since she feels like she has no where to turn to.
Help Her Enroll in College
College may help her feel independent enough to leave the abusive relationship by enabling herself to make more money. Careers can make enough women feel more powerful enough to leave when she knows that she doesn't have to worry about money. Student loans will help pay for school and an apartment too. Some states pay for college for victims of abuse in some situations.
She may be afraid to ask for money, but money can really help her out in a jam. She may feel stuck when she doesn't have any money so be glad to give her some money when you offer to help. A little bit is better than nothing. She might not have access to hardly any money if the husband controls it all.
Point out to her that her happiness is going down the drain the longer that she stays in the abusive relationship. Inform her that damage is happening even further emotionally and physically each month that she stays there with him. Tell her not to throw away her life for any man.
