By asking this question you are showing your utmost concern for your mate. You are already helping him/her with your presence. Continue doing what you are doing, be yourself, be sincere and believe in your mate.
Your mate will have to overcome the emotional abuse he/she has suffered by her/him self. Give advice only when he/she asks for it. Listen more. Dont be over anxious to extend a helping hand. He / She will ask for your help when he / she needs it.

Truthfully, I have never experienced that problem. But my friend came to me for advice on that subject.
His story to me is that he has a girlfriend who has been emotionally abused for years by her mom. The girl tried her best to tell the truth but the mother was very resourceful.
My friend found out that the girl began hurting herself (cutting herself, etc.) because of the emotional stress.
In cases of abuse, the victim's cry is usually repressed for a long time, therefore all the victim's emotions are bottled up inside. The best thing to do is try to find some avenue of release (that doesn't involve hurting oneself or others). If that's the case with your mate, then go for it.
Another thing is that in most cases of abuse, the aggressor is usually someone trusted or close to the heart of the victim. They then learn to not trust others. The thing to do is to show your mate that you care and that you can be trusted.
If all else fails, being there as a good listener and as a shoulder to cry on is enough. Your friend is not asking you to solve the problem. Be there for your mate because your friendship and companionship is needed now more than ever.

Be first n foremost understanding and be tolerant of her mood swings.
It is a terrible burden to carry with you thru life so being there for her ( I am assuming we are talking about a female) and support her will give her the confidence to rise above the negative feelings she suffers...
Sadly though some women are drawn to partners who treat them this way ,it is like they are in a never ending cycle, so if you are not this domineering/abusive type then just help her by love n understanding it will take time for her to adapt but it will be worth it..Good Luck Cheers

You need to make her feel like shes SAFE,loved and pampered. Also, you need to treat her like shes a very,very special person. I live with emotional abuse, ppl say that ur useless,worthless, stupid, u need to counter these words.Do things that will make her realise that these words are lies and shes infact an incredible human being.
