Lynn, can you please give some advice for the following situation? I know this happens to women and I thought it might be nice to include your advice in this forum.

What do you do if you have a friend who is being verbally abused by her spouse? You are friends with both. You forever lend an ear and show compassion towards her. You want to say something to the husband, but know it will incite more anger. You try to be supportive, but it's the same old thing all the time.

Any thoughts?
