Welcome to countertransference! You may be picking up on her own feelings of "being coerced in pretending that things are normal." Your friend may in fact be trying to off-load these uncomfortable feelings onto you so she doesn't have to feel them. I would see it as a cry for help, as I have been in her situation, and would have appreciated my friends helping me get out of the situation, not pushing me into it. It's not one they would have settled for, but for some reason it was good enough for me? Harsh!
Thanks for this!
