When Your Friend is an Unhealthy or Abusive Relationship

 

Today we’re discussing a harder topic than usual–what to do when your friend is in a very unhealthy or even an abusive relationship. It can be extremely difficult as a friend, as opposed to a family member, to know when you can step in to help, or how you can help.

I’m grateful to Rachel Katz for sharing her story. She’s been on both sides of this equation. Rachel can speak to the frustration of watching a friend stay in a dangerous relationship, and she’s been in a toxic relationship herself so she has firsthand experience with what a friend could do to help someone in the same situation.
