I have a friend (not in any program, but familiar with co-dependency) like this and we've been having the same conversation for about 2 years. Yesterday she called me and told me she has left. In her particular case, she wasn't ready to leave because she was absolutely terrified of being alone - never has been without a man her entire adult life.
I am relieved, because there was a gun in that house, too.
We just never know what will happen; or when.
