She needs to seek help in a shelter for sure, away from family.
My brother had a girlfriend that used to beat his ass and like Seagull said, there's zip zero nada for men in this situation.
Whenever he'd move back in with the parents, she'd obviously find him there, give him some sob story about how she was sorry, he'd be a fool and get tangled up right where they left off. The constant abuse, I think, gave him the 'beaten wife' syndrome where only his attacker can love him, yadda yadda yadda.
There is a wide variety of options available for her and she needs to take advantage of that before she gets killed. You might even have to support her from a very long distance because the boyfriend will probably start seeing you as the source of his problems and try to harm you as well.
Be careful. This is way, WAY out of your hands man. When she finds help don't even let her tell you WHERE she is, because I can guarantee you he's going to be on the rampage trying to figure out where she is and the more people that know WHERE she is increases the chances of him being able to glean it out of someone and track her down. |
