Advice on how to talk to Friend

LegacyUser

Basically I’m looking for advice on how to talk to a friend. Long story short is that she was in an emotionally abusive relationship with a man who was also an alcoholic, got out of it, but she told me she is back in contact with him; she was evasive on whether that meant they were back together, but if they aren’t already it definitely sounded as though they would be soon.

We are very good friends and I was honestly in shock when she told me, I didn’t know what to say. I’m so worried that something will happen to her. Apparently he has been through rehab and has cleaned his life up, but it’s only been a short while since those changes.

Has anyone here been through something similar with a friend? I want to be there as support, and I’m not looking to interfere in whatever relationship they have, but she’s obviously feeling defensive telling family/friends about it, and I don’t want her to feel she can’t talk to me about it if she needs to. I just want to be the support I’ve always been as a friend. I’d really appreciate any advice anyone has in a similar situation!

my advice would be to just be there for your friend, don't say anything as that would be rubbing salt into the wound and your friend might know that you don't like this bloke.. just ell your friend that you will be there for her no matter what happens
