What can they do about SUDs? Are they treating it?


Got triggered again tonight. While at the grocery store the clerk mentioned that a woman just got assaulted at the side of the building and that a man threw her clothes out of the car. The suspect had left but the clerk was afraid he would come back and assault her again. I told her I would go check on her. I went around the building and this 35 year woman had blood coming out of her nose and mouth, another citizen had gone to her aide and was with her. The suspect had returned to the scene but once he heard the police had been called he got gone. So the other citizen and I stayed with her until the police arrived. I couldn't leave them there in case he came back. We waited over an hour and a half. But her story sounded so much like the violence I witnessed from my Dad. Just brought up a lot of stuff. I don't understand why women stay with men that beat them.
