I have a friend in a verbally abusive relationship that she has been in for 10 years. She is also bipolar. She wants to leave him. He gets her all upset and yells an screams and just belittles her. I dont know if she has the stregth to leave him he has cut her self asteem down so low. I want to help her but for one dont know how and for two everyone tells me to stay out of it cause they do this all the time. I am confused. I was in a relationship like that but mine was physically abusive for 16 years so I know how she feels. But I am at a loss. I asked my husband if she could stay here for awhile and he said no he didnt want us involved in the drama. So what can I do to help her besides support her? There has to be something. She is my friend and I cant sit back and watch this happen to her. Any ideas?
