If you have a friend living in an abusive situation, insist on giving them your spare key. Having immediate access to a safe house can mean all the difference in the world.

Many
abusers isolate you and alienate you from your friends and family. They
make sure that their abuse can continue uninterrupted, because you now
have no-one to turn to and nowhere to go.

have a place to stay if I needed to breathe, or get away urgently,
potentially saved my life many times.
