To keep it short, a close friend of mine is headed straight into an abusive relationship. All the signs are there. I grew up with an abusive step father, I know what I'm seeing and it terrifies me. It's not just his behavior, I watch my friend crumble as well. Both me and her sister are getting increasingly worried about her especially since she's planning to travel abroad with the man. I realize there is basically nothing I can do about it. I'm not very good at tackling the situation, since it's rather personal for me, I try to stay calm and not put any blame on her even when she acts poorly. It's really hard to watch someone you care about get hurt and not be able to stop it. I guess any comforting words or advice are appreciated.
P.S: I've considered hitting him with a water bottle. I'd make sure to pick a large one, freeze it properly and aim good.
