How to help one get out of an abusive relationship

December 13, 2017 6:13am CST
A friend is going through an abusive relationship and she tells me about most things happening and I offer my own pieces of advice, but from the way things are going,I believe I should outrightly tell her to quit the relationship but words fail me.I don't know how to go about this without sounding harsh.How do you think I should go about this wouldn't been harsh or too straight forward with her?

For me, you don't need to give her any advices because at the end everything will always end up with her own decission. Just ask her if she is happy with the relationship she was in and make her decide whether to pursue life in darkness or make her way out to find the light she deserves.

Even if you do tell your friend to sever ties with her partner, in all likelihood she won't take your advice until she is willing to dump the emotional baggage that is causing her to hold on to the abusive relationship.

Tell her there are more fish in the sea who will love her and respect her. Tell her that she is beautiful and strong and she doesnt need him in her life.
