My friend is having problems with her ex.
Due to them both being on the council house tenancy, they are stil living together despite having split up several months ago, she is desperately saving to move out with their dc, and he, despite having the funds to do so, refuses to move out as he wants them to remain a couple (IMO he doesn't want to lose control).
The problem is that she is constantly texting me as he is verbally abusive in front of their dc, and is slowly moving onto being physically aggressive (some 'light punches' and a head butt) but despite my constantly advising her to go to the police/women's aid, she just won't, although his latest threat was to rape and kill her-thankfully this wasn't issued in front of the dc.
She has said she doesn't want to ruin his career (he clearly doesn't care) or put the children through it, but I can't understand why she thinks them living like this is better!
Someone please advise me as to how to help her when she is so unwilling to do anything herself!
