How to be Safe for Someone in a Harmful Relationship
1. Be Confidential - Don't Tell Others. She is in charge of who knows and how much they know.
2. Be Affirming - Don't Be Judgmental. This is not her fault.
3. Be a Good Listener - Have Empathy. Don't make assumptions. Ask kind & thoughtful questions.
4. Be Patient - Don't Tell Her What to Do. Offer to help her find resource when she is ready.
5. Be Prayerful. Don't Get in God's Way.
