This is what I thought for 7 years. In hindsight, I should have broken up with her at the first warning signs, which were noticeable within weeks. It got progressively worse.

Do your friend a favour and keep getting her to talk about it. Try to break through the "her" that he has programmed and the "her" that she needs to get out of this mess.

Seriously...if it's really that bad, there are organizations that would tell her to leave *immediately* and go to a women's shelter if necessary.

Also realize you might not know the worst of it.
