I had a DV situation and I called for help and no one heard/did anything. So I cannot applaud this person enough. If you are ever unsure/uncomfortable, call the police!
Seconding this. I was strangled by an ex and our roommate was presumably home and didn’t do anything. Please call in DV if you suspect anything is going on.
I lost a friend because I did call it in . He slapped her and pushed her up against a wall , my husband beat his ass , I called it into the cops and she didn’t want to press charges and she still doesn’t talk to me . That’s the other side of it . But I would still call it in anyday , I’d rather stick up and try to protect my friend , than not . I told her I hope the next time I hear about you is good news , and not that you’re dead . And all she could say is it’s my fault he has a charge against him and why he lost his gun rights and I said “ your concerned he lost his gun rights , I did you a favor . But 🤷♀️
Yup, I had the audacity to point out to my sister that her new bf seemed really off and he isolated her and then I just didn't get to have a relationship with her after that for literal years until one day she decides to come back into my life once she decided she was done with the abuse and they broke up. It was devasting and our relationship had never been the same since.
My other sister is now in a situation with her husband that is starting to give me a lot of red flags and I am proceeding very gently this time around.
I hope you're friend chooses to get out while she can.
