Has anyone had to deal with an abusive woman either in their lives or a friends? I have a friend who unfortunately has run back to the abuser once again. Her typical tricks are, "If you leave me I'll kill myself" "If I can't be with you I'll kill myself." She constantly belittles him and talks down to him; calls him worthless and the like. Threatens him if he doesn't do what she says, controls his movement. I hate her, everyone hates her. Especially his family.

I've decided to ostracize her. I will not see her, speak to her, or in any way acknowledge her. To me, she is dead. I feel like I can not in any way validate the relationship. However, since abusers maintain their control by cutting off support, it's a difficult line to walk.

I'd love to know if anyone has been in a similar situation.
