OT: Lunacy
My best friend is in a emotionally abusive relationship and codependent. I refuse to support her by feeding her lies that the way she is being treated is OK and that things will get better.
I have voiced that I don't know how to help her/support her until she really wants to hear what I have to say. Until then, there is nothing that will change her mind. She has to want to the change, right?
Ok, so when I voice these things to the small group of friends who are closest to the lady in the abusive relationship I get ignored. Nobody acknowledges what I said, because they don't like it. Denial. It's simple denial and it makes me feel like a lunatic.
I'm exhausted. The continual denial makes me start to question my sanity.
I would like some outside perspective. I'm obviously too entwined in the drama and hurt feelings to be objective.
