Respected Sir/Mam

I know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence since last 19+ years . Verbal abuse ,Physical abuse, death threats is what the woman I know has been subjected to. She is an introvert, who thinks and does all the good things. She is caring and affectionate . The person she is married to comes under the influence of others and mistreats her and does not give her the respect she deserves. Her in laws passed away recently. They also mistreated her at times. Her children's aunt is a very deceptive and clever woman and always tries to dominate her. All this has severely affected her mental strength. She always thought her children will grow up and stand on their own feet. But due to continuous unnecessary fights , family drama and no guidance and proper direction could not secure jobs.Now the future for the woman and her children seems bleak. They are all very scared. Kindly provide us counselling regarding what the woman who is suffering should do.She has three kids out of which one has done Btech in chemical engineering and has 4 year work experience and now jobless. The second kid has completed Btech in electrical engineering and is unemployed. The third kid is pursuing engineering and is currently in 3rd year. The first two kids are girls and hence are subjected marriage related queries/abuses from relatives. All this has made the woman and her kids depressed and isolated.

Hi. I don't know if I need help or not. I know I need to talk to somebody. I can't focus. I feel angry and upset and wanting to cry all at the same time. Stresses that I normally could handle, I can't anymore without extreme and intentional willpower. After that, I just want to hide and cry. I can't focus on my employment, my school work, my family, or anything. I get so easily frustrated that I give up. I care about so much and yet nothing at the same time. I am aware of the consequences of my choices and yet don't care at the same time.

@Laura Hi! I go by Dea and I've been having a rough time for a while. I've been just getting by with depression for years and I've been wanting to reach out to those in my life for help. I often feel like I can't though, and normally find myself feeling discouraged and alone. I'm hoping that maybe something on here can help because finding random listeners doesn't seem to be the best so far.
