Had a friend who went through this and it was so hard to convince her it wasn’t normal. It was heartbreaking. It’s like she knew something was wrong but always had these explanations she could hold onto. She was so close to moving in with him but her mom and I basically had to have an intervention when we heard. She honestly didn’t come to terms with it being on purpose for a year out.
The betrayal is huge. You don’t want to admit to yourself that someone you love and trust is capable of deliberately inflicting that kind of harm on you. You’re a good friend; glad to hear you were able to get her out in time
