Anyone have a friend in an abusive relationship?

[elleng]

1. I was in one for years,

treated for depression until I recognized (was told by a friend) that partner was a sociopath. Upon that recognition, I was immediately able to stop taking meds.

My younger daughter has been subjected to my older daughter's emotional abuse for many years. Hoping for both of them to receive treatment, but they haven't gotten there yet. The younger recognizes she could benefit from counseling, but she's not taken appropriate action. The older one? Don't know HOW she might get to the right point.

I don't know what to say to help your friend, but others here may.
