How do you help your girlfriend make the choice, and decide for the better and get out of the troubled household she’s in. But won’t leave and is too afraid too.

Hey @Foxman10, it's really sweet of you to seek help in order to support your girlfriend better. Being a troubled household is awful, valid how difficult things may be for her, and for you to feel determined in supporting her to move out. Trying to see things from her side, I get how terrifying it must be, the entire situation to be in, and then the weighing thought about making a decision that could be better for her.

Have you tried asking her what options does she currently consider to move ahead in this situation? Perhaps she's weighing some options too.

Sometimes when our loved ones are struggling, and we cannot do much "actively" to help them through, just assuring them that they aren't alone, and can reach out to us for any support, when needed, can be quite helpful too, a comfortable space to be in helps one feeling safer and be able to think through for themselves. Besides, if you ever feel stuck, you can ask her directly to, about how could you support her better, or if there's anything she needs at this time.

I hope the situation improves at y'alls end.❤

@Foxman10 Hi there. Super tough situation to see that something is not right, but not know how to make the right change. One thing for sure is we can't make anyone else do anything. Each person makes their own life journey, whether we see that as good or bad.

We can be there for support. We can let the person talk it out. Write out the pros and cons of a situation, and hope the right path show's itself. Change is very hard, even if it is good change. One day at a time. I hope the right answers come your way.
