ok I dont even know if I should be posting this here or not, but I dont know what to do...
I believe my best freind is being abused phyiscally & emoionaly , verbally, & every other aspect there is but I am more worried about the physical..

Sunday night she had called my husband & asked him a question.. this was at 1 in the morning.. all the sudden he said he heard her scream & the phone went dead... he grabbed his self defense tool & was walking out the door,
I called her right back & asked whatthe heck was going on, & she said nothing no big deal but was crying very hard & kept asking him to please leave & leave her alone... I told her my husband was on his way over & she said ok
well 2 minutes after I hung up with her she called right back & asked that my husband not come please, then 10 minutes later her boy friend called my husband & said he was sorry, & that he has calmed down, my husband said he still wanted to go over there.. I told him I dont think you should she knows what she got into, & if she wants it to end she will end it its not worth you going to jail over, we come first not her... Had he not called yes I would have let my husband go over there.. Not the point I called her mom to no answer, her mom called back like 2 hours later & I explained to her what was going on.. She then told me about my best friend supposdley falling in the bath tub last wednesday, she said she has a HUGE bruise on her left side of her face, & it & her ear are swallowen.. She also has a knot on her fore head her mother is a bit of an exgerattor(sorry SP???).. Well I went over there on Monday to pick up her son to spend the night at my house, & her mom was right.. I questioned her about it, & she said she fell There is NO way this was from falling... especially in the shower NO WAY at all.. I told her I dont believe her.. & she got mad & said I dont care what you believe.. There is also brusies on her arm & legs, ons on the leg I actually think are from tables etc... On arm I know are fom him grabbing her or hitting her, you can see the finger marks.. what can I do to get her to open up about him doing this to her??? I am scared to death for her, I know it is only getting worse, & all she does is protect him.. He does not work or supprot his kids 1 by her 2 from a previous marriage.. She does all of it.. & does not make much money..
I told her I loved her & we would do what ever we can to get her out of this situatiuon she is In & I meant it.. She told me I was crazy & that she loves himm...
she is my closest in dearest freind & I would do anything in the world for her, I want to help her , but have no clue how.. especially since she wont admit this is going on.. has anyone been thru this & how do I help her, before it is to late & he ends up killing her

You should have dialed 911 when you heard her scream and you should do it if you agsin hear anything. Do not ask her permisssion, she is not in her right mind. If you decide to wait and do nothing and not get involved, you will soon be involved in her funeral.

Make sure your husband never goes to her house armed.

She will always defend her abuser at the expense of her rescuer.

Let the police handle it.
