Friend of ours arrived at the door in floods of tears. We were aware that things with her husband have been quite strained recently. He's a builder and is constantly out on the piss, not caring about their young daughter etc. He's been very abusive (verbally, so far) and she is desperately unhappy. It's a big step leaving, with her daughter, and also why should she? It's half of her house. She feels very trapped and she's obviously very upset. She has a holiday booked with her daughter and parents (he wasn't interested - "too much work") so that gives her a bit of time to think things over.
Question: are there any voluntary groups, rather than solicitors and marriage councillors, who could at least give the lass both a shoulder to cry on and also some sound legal/practical advice about the situation. I'd imagine it isn't that rare.
