IF YOU OR YOUR FRIEND IS ABUSED
1) First is to
get her to admit that a REAL and serious problem exists.
2) Second is to get her to realize that she does not want to
live this way all her life.
3) Thirdly is to convince her that this situation will not get
better, but only worse!
4) Convince her that it is not her problem, but his!
5) Convince her that the US government will take no actions
against her.
6) Show her a way out of this relationship.
There are "SAFE" houses for women like her. There is a lot
of public assistance and help for foreign women.
