Pointing out the wolves to the sheep ~ Opinions please

[Pandora's Box]

Yes I had similar thoughts myself TG. And she has already been advised in that manner. She isn't the most willing about it though.

She does have self esteem issues. Much of which was caused by her interaction with men for the past 4 years. She chooses poorly for one. And when she does come up with a gem, she sabotages it by going back to this shmuck.

It's not like she has a weak personality either. But after witnessing this for several months, something tells me that she likes being treated like a whore. Which is fine if she didn't have to deal with the emotional abuse to "get her fix".

I have known several women like her over the years. They are drawn like a moth to the flame, to an abusive guy. Talking usually does not work, they need a real self awakening. If she tries therapy with the right professional and sticks with it she has a chance to break her dependency. Without professional help the chances are slim. You can only show her the way, she has to do the walking.
