Please understand that she simply can’t leave, I was in a similar situation, not abusive but really toxic, it was like I was trapped, one part of my brain was “leave them” but then i thought how they were when we met so I wanted to get “that them back” The other part of my brain was terrified, they bullied me quite a bit, I was scared that they would send people at me, especially because at the time I had no friends around, they always made me uneasy and I didn’t want to do anything to make them mad at me.

I can’t speak for all bad relationships, but it seems to be the similar effect for a lot of them. Right now she just needs support from friends
