I would say it is highly likely that majority of us are close to women that HAVE been physically and sexually abused. It is very common and it hurts because there is nothing you can personally do about it. Not saying it is your place to right things that happened in their lives before they met you, but you still want to do something.I'll just leave it at this, it's highly likely someone you know was a victim of abuse, if ya'll are lucky enough to be let in maybe that conversation would help you with empathy and understanding.
But all you can do is listen when they speak and like you said understand
