I've learned that two people close to me are in damaging relationships in the space of a couple of weeks.
I talked to both of them about it... one conversation went very very badly, and one merely went quite badly.
Is there a protocol for dealing with this sort of thing?
I guess in the two cases above; one was physically and emotionally abusive, and one was extreme gaslighting/manipulative.
It's a very uncomfortable topic for me to talk about, because of my past. But I'm thinking that it must be extremely common to have friends and family in these kinds of relationships, no?
