10. Your "tough love" probably helped her come to the realization

that she was in a bad cycle.

In my twenties I dated an emotionally, and sometimes physically, abusive man. I realize now that I was addicted to the attention I got when I complained about him to others.

Some of my friends did the same thing you did. It took me a while to realize what was going on, but thank God I did. I got it together, and all of a sudden, nice, kind, decent men came out of the woodwork.

I married the best of them, and my life is in a place I never could have envisioned back then.

Hope the same is true of your friend.
