I think the best thing you could do for her right now is maybe try to be a friend.... I know you hardly know her but perhaps send a little invitation to have her come over for some tea or something. Other than that what can you do. the police have been called and he seems to have left. But trying to establish a friendship might give her someone to open up to in case she doesn't have anyone else. or maybe drop by sometime and invite her out for a walk with the kids.

But at the same time you don't want to put your family at risk from this horrible man.

I agree about mabey taking a walk with the kids.... Or where someone else suggested take Jonah over and say he wants to see a baby because he doesn't remember being one.

I think that what you did was wonderful. I don't think you will ever know how much it must have meant to that woman - you probably offered her a lifeline that she never had. Can you just imagine what she is going through? It must be so comforting to know that a neighbor just a few doors away would help her if need be.

Men beating up women - aarrgghhh!

That was very kind of you to stop in & check on her. Since you are aware of the situation, you can at least keep an eye out for signs of trouble when you go by. I agree that abused women need support and may not get it from their families, so simple gestures of friendship probably mean more to her than you can imagine. You did good.

He has moved back into the house.

I am naive enough to think this could maybe be the wake up call he needs, and smart enough to know one time is usually not the pattern presented.

Ugh...

If I were in your shoes, I'd make sure she has my phone numbers.
