I’ve been asked to be a bridesmaid to a friend whom the groom has beaten up
DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE been asked to be a bridesmaid, but I can’t pretend to be happy as the man my friend is marrying has beaten her up in the past.
She is 36 and we have been pals since our schooldays. She has had bad relationships and has two kids with different men.

Her current partner beat her black and blue last year and regularly kicks her out of her own home.
He is a control freak. I don’t know whether I should stand by her or just not go to the wedding?

DEIDRE SAYS: Organise to see your friend, just the two of you, so you can have a serious talk.
Tell her you love her and worry about her future and that of her children if she stays in this relationship.
Ask her to try the Freedom Programme () to help her reassess, but say you will always be there for her if needed.
