Husband Punched Me - Police Doesn't Protect Me
Female friend is going through the difficulties of a marital breakup. Part of their problem has to do with the husband's insensitivity toward a sexual assualt comitted against his wife at her work place, for which she is currently under therapy.
In the course of the emotional blame game, her husband got violent. Though she used the term ''beaten up'', it may have been one punch. She called police. In her thinking, the police sided with her husband, who convinced police they was no problem [because] she's just in therapy ( implying she's unstable/nuts). So, she said the [east bay] police gave her a choice, to ''move out of the home'' or [ shape up ?]. She's now in the process of moving out but fears for her safety. She believes her husband is playing mind games with her, will stalk her, & has her living in fear [including returning to her - he objects].
The police failing to protect her has made her emotionally worse. Anything she can do?

I suggest that your friend consult with an experienced family law attorney, as well as seek the assistance of a local shelter for battered women. There is an abundance of support out there for her but, she will have to take the first step. You can not do it for her.
Good luck to you.
