I abandoned my friend after finding out he was being abused
Why did you abandon him for that reason?
I didn't want to be associated with him anymore.
I know that you felt awkward towards your friend, but leaving him when he was being abused is incorrect. Be there for your friend and support him through his tough time.
He should stay away from me, my family and my friends. He's nothing to me.
If you are afraid of being abused yourself you should report his abuser. It can be really hard and scary for victims to report or escape their situations. You can even leave an anonymous tip.
