It sounds like she is in DEEP pain, and she feels talking about it would only hurt more. That isn't necessarily true -- but sometimes we prefer not to go into the past because it IS so painful.

She really needs therapy -- is she in therapy right now? If she's not, try to persuade her to go!!! She has obviously been deeply hurt in the past and she won't get past it without some help. If she can't afford it, have her talk with Social Services and see if she'd qualify for help. She might qualify for Medicaid, and if not -- then there might be some emergency-type help available to get her the help she needs. But make sure she follows thru, cause she certainly sounds like she's in dire straits!

I wish you the very best. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
