AIBU to want to help a friend in an abusive relationship

Put in AIBU for traffic. Friend in very short term (but already cohabiting) relationship. There is clearly an alcoholism problem, a possessiveness problem, an anger problem followed by massive lovebombing. I think coercive control is beginning too. What on earth can I do to help? They are rarely apart (unless she is at work) because he cannot handle it. When I spend an hour with her every few weeks he continuously texts her. I am really worried but feel at a loss to do anything other than tell her my thoughts and concerns (which I have done in the aftermath of one of their massive rows). But today he has love bombed her (yet again. ) This is only going to get worse and I told her that he will try to cut her off from anybody close to her as well. Any advice or previous experience out there?

There’s not much you can do except leave your door open to her for when she wants to talk in the future. You’ve told her how you feel about him. She’s ignoring you and going back to him. You can’t force her to see sense.
