I *pray* a friend come to this board ...
I jsut sent her the links here & to sister board. She is a wonderful Mom of 2 young boys - i met her years ago on the Dealing w/ an Alcoholic board. She has been TERRORIZED by her AH for years. He has held a gun to the puppys head telling her he woudl kill it, while she & the boys watched - & he has abused her over & over. He is a complete whack job & SO mnay of us on the baord have been terrified for years for her. Well, last nite was "the worst yet" & she FINALLY had the strength to call 911 & he is in jail. But i can HEAR in her words, her guilt. I am begging her to call me b/c i dont even know if she is pressing charges. Please pray for her, & please give her the best advice (as always you all do) you can in her situation, if she chooses to come here. She is scared. & she is so new to this. I know some of you here may be able to help her see what she NEEDS to do. B/c you have all been there.
