She needs to show him the door.
@MoSmith She told me she is working on a divorce but I don't know if that will really happen.

@Catastrophe good! Get him out of her life. Women cannot put up with violence

Right now be somebody safe who she can talk to and start getting her on board with the idea of an escape plan. She needs to get out of that house. However, she has to WANT to get out of the house. That means she lives before he kills her, rather than waits for a divorce to process.

It could mean a shelter, or if you have a couch or spare room, your couch or spare room. I would start looking at a lot of information on helping people in DV situations in your area. There are absolutely things that can be done and a lot of resources.
@CountScrofula I genuinely think she wants to. She is just trying to be financially independent enough. She has talked about divorce and moving out. Thanks for the advice, I feel like everyone and everything surrounding me is insane right now. Like society is collapsing and everyone is going downhill, mentally and financially. I'll do what I can right now for her but I don't think I want to offer a space in my home due to safety issues. ( I already have this islamic crime ring, that I stumbled across, stalking me, long story). I know she might back out of the divorce and moving out though. I'm going to check in with her more regularly and try to sway her to leave

uh username checks out.

If you have the emotional headspcae to do some research, find the numbers for shelters and other resources in the area so she can be armed with knowledge. I hope you're okay!!!

Just try to convince her NOT to get her boobs change and to leave her husband if the abuse continues ...
If she's that talented and pretty, she'll have no problem finding a good man
Unfortunately not a hell of a lot you can do except encourage them to get help. Your reports aren’t likely to do much if the women aren’t willing to press charges. Just keep being supportive and perhaps research some local domestic violence organizations/resources that you can pass onto them to help plant the seed that help is available and they don’t have to continue living that way.
@OlderSometimesWiser Great advice, thank you! 🤗
@Catastrophe Keep us posted. I hate knowing that women are in these scary, abusive situations. Hopefully shining a light will help them make their way out of the darkness.
@OlderSometimesWiser Will do. She just looks like a sad person, it's heartbreaking. 💔

My father won't allow me to have an education, a woman, or a good paying job. Nobody ever stepped in and helped me so I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to help her or what to do.

@Catastrophe Why do you believe this?
@FloorGenAdm Because it's true

Get her the contact info for local women's rescue so she can split or call someone.

These guys can threaten their lives and/or childrens lives. Protection orders are worthless. She'll need to leave in secrecy, probably.
