We've traveled hundreds of miles to help her move out and offered her a place to stay (this is BEFORE she married the dirtbag and had a kid with him) when it would have been EASY for her to leave. But now, she starts sentences with, "but I can't say anythng cuz it can get physical" and me and my big mouth tells her "You know that is WRONG. Your husband is supposed to protect you not make you afraid." But a very hard lesson to learn for those in support is you can't do it for them.
This is a college educated ENGINEER making BIG BUCKS. But she can't leave him. GAH!
