She was a lot more worried before I sicced DW and LJ on her, and now she just thinks everyone thinks it's worse than it is (as far as I can tell). Like, I cannot see what the harm is in calling a domestic violence hotline in her home community. At least they would probably be likely to tell her whether or not there's an actual problem, and as I have emphasized, I am fairly sure that sort of thing is anonymous. I want it to stop before it escalates.

(And maybe I'm overreacting because I watch a lot of crime dramas on TV, and because I saw a ton of terrifying stuff at my work-study job last year, and because of fandom, but -- I want it to stop before something goes terribly wrong. I don't want to say, "I told you so.")
