So many hugs coming your way.

GM- the background song in The night before christmas (the one with the mice. NO one ever knows what I am talking about. "Christmas chimes are calling, Santa, Santa") It was my favorite TV special as a kid. It brings back Christmas memories like nothing else.

I also love the music from the Polar Express, it grew on me since we have not stopped watching the movie since last Christmas.

For traditional, I love Away in a Manger.

I need major help.

I have a friend in a bad, bad, bad situation and I don't know how to help her.

would you pm me with more info? I mean, if you feel comfortable.

eta: nvm. should have kept reading. To be perfectly honest, there isn't much you can do. And as someone who has been there (in your shoes) you just might have to distance yourself. I don't mean it in a heartless kind of way but it gets to the point where it impacts your life so negatively and the other person continues in the vicious cycle and at a certain point you need to just pull away and take care of yourself and your own family.

If anything I might try to get in touch with her family and try to do an intervention. The hardest part about these situations is the danger. Not leaving because of fear and the potential backlash. Hugs, it is a hard situation, no doubt.

Wow, Jennie. I have no idea what to say. That's an awful situation but I'm not sure what you can do for her if she doesn't really want to change the situation.

Sad.

I asked her what she would tell someone in her situation and she said she'd tell them to get her life back by leaving.

I know I can't help her unless she wants to help herself and it is sad b/c she's such a wonderful person but I barely recognize her anymore. She's so sad and depressed these days.

all you can do is be there for her, and remind her what a valuable person she is...and only as long as you are able to be without it becoming detrimental to your overall being or your family...until she is ready to make the decision on her own to get help.

Unfortunately, she, like all women in abusive relationships, will need to reach her bottom before she is willing to get out....and when she is ready, THAT is when you're really going to be able to help her.

It's hard to see someone you care about being in such a damaging relationship and what it does to that person.
