1) Treat her to dinner at a nice restaurant.
2) Order the appricot flame' for dessert.
3) When the waiter brings it, jostle his arm.
4) Escape in the ensuing confusion.
Now let me apologize for making light of this situation. Basically your friend is making it very hard for you to do your job as a friend. Any one of her claims would be enough to get sympathy from just about any audience, but to say that her husband drugged her AND made her have sex with other people AND drank her blood AND threatened to kill her AND physically abused her is just a little too much to believe. While I think that she certainly deserves sympathy, it's not because she has a psychopath exhusband who may or may not actually exist (can any mutual friends confirm his existence). Having dealt with a mentally ill family member all of my life, I can certainly sympathize with what you're going through, but please remember that it isn't your job to fix this woman.
