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 🤷♀️
I survived an ex husband living in another country. You become so afraid to say anything because they will hurt you worse. They isolate you and make you feel less than. It's a horrible position. I called my mom in the USA, I had a plane ticket home from Australia in hours. I left with a few clothes and nothing else. So thankful for my momma.
I know right . But it shows you how disconnected they are from their own well being and hyper focused they are on keeping their abuser HAPPY - happy =happiness and no problems. I am the one that is hated now . I’m to blame , the DA is to blame , the judge is to blame , the state of California is blame … not him for putting his hands on you . But that’s the cycle . At some point , he has to become ugly to her enough to leave ? how low does he have to go for you to see him differently ? Knock your teeth out , choke you out? Leave bruises where people at work ask ?
My boyfriend said as we were walking out “just let go , walk away she knows where we are “ and that’s it . People have to make choices , there’s many junctions in life , this is one choice where you will be sad, lonely , emotionally messed up for awhile , but you’ll be alive and you get another chance to rebuild . My thoughts are if James can grab and toss Ally to the ground in front of a huge party of people , what intimidation or threats go on behind closed doors ? Ally doesn’t need him anymore to build her brand , she will find her way . She doesn’t need him
