He should find a therapist for himself that he can vent to and that may be able to help him understand it better and help him develop his own ways of gaining his own breaks and space from her that will help in keeping HIM healthy. It's not unusual for a person struggling to need to see more than one therapist until they find a therapist they feel is a good match for them.
What country does he live in?

We both live in the U.S. I do know that he has been working on getting his own space from her and trying to find a therapist that is a good match. I wish I could be more understanding but it's hard to watch her treat him and others so badly.
