I'm sitting with my friend's kids while he's in jail

She hit him. He called the cops. She said he pushed her.

This has been going on for months now.

He's a classic domestic violence victim and she's a crazy violent drunk.

He keeps letting her back in.

She's in jail, too. Felony assault.

I do what I can but I can't save him. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Praying he doesn't catch charges when she has a record of being the aggressor.

I've never been exposed to domestic violence like this.

It's a mess and I wish I could fix it for him. He's my best friend. Hate to see his life in ruins.

Seriously if someone hurts you, don't let it get out of hand. He stands to lose everything.

He's a good person and not stupid. This can truly happen to anyone.
