“Am I Being Unreasonable To Have Cut Off My Friend Who Stayed In An Abusive Marriage?”

There is no excuse for abuse. It’s a horrible thing to watch your friend’s life being devastated by their violent, manipulative, controlling partner. Though you’ve seen the red flags and try to help them get out of the awful situation—providing support and resources—the sad reality is that sometimes they don’t want your help.

One anonymous internet user asked the Mumsnet online community for their thoughts on an extremely sensitive situation. She explained how she went above and beyond to save her friend from her abusive husband. However, the woman eventually had to cut off her friend who accused her of having a ‘vendetta’ against her spouse. You’ll find the full story below.

Warning: mentions of emotional and other types of abuse.
