The thing is she is 65 miles miles away from any city store ect... and he will not take her to the airport she has no car and he beats her. And mentally abuses her. She lives in Texas and I live in Oregon. Is it the right thing to do?

That depends...how would you "rescue" her? Is the relationship a marriage? Because there are battered Wives support centers all over the country and they will help her through legal actions if she really wants help. If it is just boyfriend and girlfriend relationships, She would have to call the authorities on her own. You actually going there wouldn't necessarily help her in any way. And if you hardly know her, you'll probably make the same impact by just contacting the local authorities and file a domestic disturbance report instead. Or tell them that you are conveying the report for your friend who is being abused. But then the word abused is so broad, how is she being abused? physically, mentally, emotionally?

No. You hardly know this person so you don't know why they are in the relationship, if there is any way you could actually help and, most importantly, if she even is in an abusive relationship. Basically, all you know is that you'll be spending 4800 miles worth of gas to go there and back. My guess is that there are people in your life that you are more familiar with and who are alot closer who could benefit from your help just as much or more. Good Luck.

Good question, but think about it carefully. You don't want to "rescue her" unless she is 100% making that decision as well. I'm afraid the statistics for victims of domestic violence going back to their abuser are discouraging. Just make sure it is her decision before you drive there.

Yes, but only if i knew or thought that she wouldn't go back. I thank God for sending my angel who rescued me from my abusive relationship with my ex-husband. Tell this day I'm still in love with him (the angel, not the hubby), we are not together but I wish him only blessings. Most definitely!

She put herself in that position. I tried to get a girl out of a abusive situation, and she left me a month later... back to that abusive person.

I don't know that I would drive that far, but I would however call the authorities in her area and let them know what's going on. She needs to be out of that relationship NOW!!!

no way, she may be a user, or full of bs, even if she isn't... why can't she rescue herself... theres no excuse to stay in an abusive relationship, there are ways, if she says she can't escape well then she's just in denial and does not want to leave yet.

honestly no
but then if she died you would have that guilt with you forever
that yo u never did anything to stop it and that you just sat back and let it happen
but really i don't think i would go there
i proabably would tell someone else so that it was their problem
oh **** is that what u r doing now
now that i knkow i have to tell someone else
damn you

ummm if you really wanted to be a good samaritan, by all means do it! it sounds like shes calling out for help if you know about it and it sounds like maybe you are her only hope. i'd definately do it. but if theres a chance that she is lying or something, then don't. but it sounds like she needs help for sure.
