I suppose one question here is... is it your friend who doesn't want help or is it her husband & daughter who don't want her to have it? Perhaps though, in the end, it doesn't matter. The bottom line is, either way, you're not able to help your friend & your friend isn't receiving the help it sounds like she needs.

Depending on where you live, there might be govermental or human services organizations you could contact that might be able to help. That may or may not be the case where you live though. If not, I'm afraid there may not be a lot you can do beyond continuing to be there for your friend & to be as supportive as you feel you can be under the circumstances. Thank you for caring though.

P.S. Thankfully the search bar is now back. So here are links to the articles I mentioned above:

We live in Ct ,she has been to the womans shelter but she said she didnt like it there.Actually she is afraid to leave because she is afraid her husband will find her.The problem is she lets her husband and daughter get away with it.The yelling and name calling.I would never say f to my mom,
