I understand what you are saying. nothing really to do except to try to get her to see what a bad situation she's in

Oh, he's terribly abusive. She went into a store for an hour and left her cell in the car, and he'd called 3 times to check up on her. Like all abusive relationships, the abuse level varies, which I guess is the only thing that makes it tolerable. She's left before, but gone back for many reasons. Of course, it took me more than one try, too.

It's hard to hear, especially since the situation she's in is so much worse than mine was. But I don't want to say "I can't listen to this anymore".

same here...I am married now but it took me 7 years to break free emotionally & mentally from my ex's abusive ways.
She's on her own path. I remember time and time again my family and friends would point out the abuse to me and I ignored them and kept going back. Today, I'm a strong woman for all I've been through...took some therapy, but it made me who I am. She's obviously on a path of her own and sometimes its hard to stand by and watch a friend be hurt in any way, especially when they choose to stay. All you can do is listen and be there. That's what a friend does.
