Help! Friend advice!My friend is in troble and I need advice!?

Maybe you can ask her to talk about what's on her mind when it's just you and her. Assure her that she can tell you anything and you'll listen. Also, prayer is another powerful thing to do. It sounds like she needs a good prayer partner, and it's awesome when two people (especially friends) have a relationship where prayer is present. And the guy is just mad because you found out what he done, he knows it's wrong, and his conscience (God's voice) is getting the best of him. He needs prayer also. But, you and her just sit down and talk it out as long as it takes. If you're a true friend, you won't "sit back" and let anything bad happen to her.

Well you can't ever stop being her friend, because then you'd be defeating the purpose of being her friend in the first place. There's only so much you can do, but if you'd like to talk about this, feel free to e-mail me. I think it'll help you have a better idea of what your friend is going through and why she's having such a hardly time wanting to leave. This might even give you a better idea on how to possibly help her. My e-mail address is eckm0032@umn.edu. To make it easier, we can chat over an instant messenger; just let me know. I hope to hear from you soon and am more than willing to help anyway I can.

No, don't just sit back and watch. In which case you are not her friend. Make things very clear with both of them - do a get together and make things very clear on both sides and that it impacts everybody around and being a friend you won't let it happen to your friend. Ask that guy to treat herproperly as she deserves it. If not, ask (or make) your friend to get out of that relationship. Because she will end up being a slave.

All thru this, be very diplomatic and professional and never get emotional.

It already is an abusive relationship. And, unfortunately, she isn't going to leave him until she decides it's time for her to leave. My only suggestion would be to help her start saving money that he does not know about, storing some extra clothes with a friend (maybe you), so that if she needs to leave him she can. Assuming of course the are living together. Other than that just get her the phone number to the local YWCA or Domestic Violence program, Domestic Violence is not just being hit, it is much more than that. Encourage her to call them.

It's hard to watch someone you care about go through something bad.

The sad thing is that other than being there for her if and when she needs you not much else will help. You can fix the situation for her, she needs to see that it's not a good place for her on her own.

Be supportive, listen, stand by her.. Feel free to let her know your thoughts, but as a friend your job is to be there, not be there to nag..

Yes, you are gonna have to sit back and just be a friend. Her boyfriend gets mad at her cause he does not want her to think someone besides him would want her. He has control over her and for now there is nothing you can do except be her friend. Its sounds like she is very lucky to have you all as friends. I will pray for her. Good luck.

what your friend needs right now is a friend. so don't leave her even if you don't agree with the way that she's handling the situation. try not to blame anything on anyone or say things that might upset her. there really isn't much you can do, its up to her to get help. you can't give it to her if she doesn't want it.

Try and help her, this could lead into an abusive relationship if it keeps going liek that.. even if she gets mad at you, still help her with it, and chances are even though she will be mad at you for a little while, she will be thanking you later.

Continue to be her friend. She may really need you one day. Unfortunately, there really is not much you can do. I have a friend that has been physically abuse by her husband and she finally left him. Before we knew it, he has eased himself back into her life.

You cannot change your friend. She is not going to make any changes until she is ready. As I said, continue to be her friend and pray for her.

Peace and Love.
