Having a friend going through similar abuse. I don't know what to do.

Hi guys,

I'm new on these threads. I am a survivor of domestic abuse, left my husband of 15 years. He has schizophrenia and when he was on treatment he and I got on well. He wasn't abusive while on medication.

However I left him because he stopped taking his medication and went back on drugs and he started to be abusive again.

When I left I decided to take a dance class and made an awesome friend. As we got to know each other. I opened up to tell her about my marriage and my husband. She told me about her husband and marriage.

As I am listening to her describe how her husband is controlling (calls/texts constantly and she has to take a photo to send him to show she is out with me), pushes her to get angry and they fight often. It reminded me of my own relationship with my ex husband.

Her husband sounds like a mirror of my husband's abusive ways. I am willing to listen and I wish I could tell her to leave her husband but I don't want to broach with her.

I don't know what to do. It is like I'm watching my own relationship from another point of view with my friend.
