There is no easy way to approach someone whom you think is a victim of abuse. All you can really do is offer them your ear and support, to make them feel comfortable in confiding with you. If you ask directly if they are abused and they deny it, you can't keep pushing for them to admit it, as that becomes a form of abuse and you'll loose their trust. Do not over-react, let them know you're a safe person to confide in and then be patient.
