So, interesting GAL with one of my bestest gal pals...
We had a long chat about one of her friends, who is in a M and has children to her H. As she was describing the behaviour of her friend's H, it became clearer and clearer that he was/is being really emotionally abusive (at least...I'm guessing there is more).
We chatted about the best way that my friend could be supportive to her friend.
One of the hardest things, to be present, on someone's 'side', but without telling them what to do, or trying to sort it all out for them.
I also suggested she call Women's Aid to ask about ways she could be supportive.
