OMG you got to be kidding me that you all are researching this stupid diagnosis on the internet. You girls really are in desperation of finding a reason why your men act like an ass arent you? Get a life and stop using the internet to find the reason why your men are losers

Courtney...I will stick by my original advice. You can't MAKE her accept your help, if she doesn't think she needs it. You can only be a loving and supportive friend to her, pointing out instances where you see it as abuse. You can only be there for her when she calls you crying. You can be there for her when she may need a place to stay, if she decides to leave. You can point out the changes in her personality, due to his behavior and statements.... (abused women change from their prior selves, due to the abuse... Self esteem, etc.) You can show her that she has other recourses and outs. You can built up her self esteem. But you can't MAKE her leave, and you can't MAKE her see what she isn't willing to see.

If your friend is being assulted by this boyfriend of hers, call the police. You must be a witness of the abuse and if you feel she will deny the abuse she must have marks on her. It's not going to be easy. You may end up being blamed for ending or coming between a relationship. But you will be sending a message that you will not allow your friend to be abused and you will fight back when she can't.

One book that really opened my eyes is ""If I am missing or Dead"" by Janine Latus. It took me 10 years to get out of my firs abusive relationship and 5 times leaving my second abusive relationship before I decided I had enough. Not my friends and family, but they were there waiting for me and supporting me the whole way. Low self esteem and fear of being alone is what keep women in this type of relationship. We deserve more than the worst thing we can handle. I agree with Jasmine57. There is another world out there and it is better to be alone than to be abused.
