Uh therapy should be the 1st step.
'kay, so she's going to get therapy... and at the same time, have a boyfriend that calls her trash, cheats on her, and is nothing but mean to her. After going to her therapy session, she'll immediately call him and be treated like crap.
I think those two will cancel each other out my friend. Being with him WHILE getting therapy won't solve a damn thing. It will keep her neutral.
1.) She needs to get rid of him. Only then will she not have to worry about his hateful comments, and she won't be bothered or tied down from an abusive relationship. She would be one step closer to healing.
2.) If she gets a better guy who will treat her right, he can comfort her, and be there for her WHILE she is getting therapy, and it wil be easier for her to open up to a therapist, because she has the love and support from someone who actually cares about her.
3.) If she does 1 and 2.... THEN I think she'll be ready to go to therapy... and I support her getting therapy 100%.
1-2-3 = a better person.
That's my opinion. I could very well be wrong.
The conundrum... is convincing her to dump him.
Her whole family HATES him... and they all love ME. I just talked to her mother on the phone last night about all this, and she told me that she really wants me to "show her the light" and take care of her... because she knows I'd treat her better. Her sister said this too.
So... I know you guys don't know me (which is why you call me a potential rapist)... but her family DOES know me, and I pretty much gave them the same shpiel from the first post... and they really want me to be with her.
Say what you will, I suppose.
