If you know of an abusive relationship do you report it?

My first husband was abusive. It started out as verbal and psychological. He told me every day that I was fat, dumb and ugly. I was none of those things, but after 5 years he had me convinced. Then one night he woke me by punching me in the face. That was it. Over and done. But many women cannot do that. If you know your friend is being abused, offer to help. Many women who have been abused use all of their strength to survive and there is little left for the escape. If you see your friend being abused, yes, call 911. Report any physical abuse you witness. Beyond that, there's little you can do except to support your friend.
