To add to my other problems (sheesh!), I very recently discovered that a co-worker of mine, who I care a lot for, is in what is obviously an abusive relationship.

In addition to mental abuse, there have been at least two incidents (that she recounted to me) of physical abuse that could be considered felonies here in Ohio.

I really want to help her - she is one of the two people that I even remotely consider friends at my job.

I know the old adage "To help a person, they must first want to be helped", but I can't just stand by and just pray that nothing serious happens (she's got a young child w/ Autism).

In addition, she lives in another city about 45mins. away, so it's not like I can just go over and kick the living snot out of this oxygen thief, as much as I d like to. (Probably get me arrested, anyway)

This situation has put me in a funk for the last couple of days.

Looking for possibilities, here.

TiO.

Add: I can provide more details later - just got home from work, and need some sleep (if I can get it).
