Yes, I think so too, thank you, but how can i just support her myself without interfering; it was never my wish to do that. The ting that really worries me is that she had recently almost cut herse...

Yes, thank you very much for your opinion. I, sadly, at the time, was too insolent to think of putting the amount of time and how well i had known her in my OP, however, even if i didn't know her w...

I have known her since I was 10 and my dad is very close to her dad so we r over there all the time. I think I know her well enough to at least have an IDEA of what is going on. If I was to leave h...

How often must this kind of treatment occur for it to be considered abuse?

I am afraid i have no idea, although her constant and immediate change in mood suggests not.
