If at all. One of my oldest friends is in a newish relationship about 10 months with a man who is violent and controlling. She met him online dating and he has some sort of spectacular hold over her which is very odd to me as she is a career girl and previously very strong woman etc. She has one child aged 6. They fight a lot as he has had a difficult life when younger and she thinks she is his saviour (I know).Last week she rang me in a real state saying he had absolutely lost it in the house and he was moving out. Myself and all of our friends were delighted but after a huge valentines reunion he is back. Several people have spoken to her over the last 6 months or so about his controlling aggressive behaviour but now I feel after last week there is no hope. I am really keen to just walk away and not see her at all as she had dh and myself terrified for her last weekend and all along she was with him! My main concern is her daughter tbh who is getting somewhat forgotten amidst this volatile on off relationship
