If this is an emotionally abusive situation, it's her husband's fault. He's the one that has her convinced that she deserves this treatment. Please note what I wrote above: victims of emotional abuse have no sense of self. In this state, you are susceptible to manipulation. To those of us on the outside, it looks like a no brainer: leave! But when you're caught in it, this often doesn't even come to mind.
We shouldn't oversimplify a complex situation. Yes this woman is responsible for herself, but she may not even realize what she's doing isn't for her own good.
