Think I might be a little too close

My friend needs to leave her man. I see so much of myself in her. I told her to just go and go now and I will help her move and she is so stressed it is not funny. She knows she needs to leave however she loves him and afraid to be on her own. She doesn't want to be me and god knows my life is not easy but it is better now than it was with my ex. I might be alone and I might be sad and I might be lonely sometimes but I'm doing it all on my terms and I can sleep and I have peace and I'm not being told what to do and when to do it and I'm not unhapppy with that choice. I told her it would be the hardest thing she ever had to do and to let go of that dream for that dream will never happen with this guy and he took off to FL to see his brother and I don't want her to get a STD when he gets back and he has lots of guns and I want her to get out before he gets back. His brother does drugs and who knows what he will be like when he gets back and I just love her to death and I wasted 5 years with my ex and all the hopes and listening to the I'm sorry's and I don't want her to be that. I didn't have anyone when I went through it. Well, that is not true I had the wonderful people on the board and without them I would have never left. I know this has got to be her decision how do I not get enraged and just pack her up and bring her home. I could never forgive myself if there was something I wouldn't or didn't do. Help me get some perspective on this. I don't want to make this decision for her I just know where she is and what she is thinking and I know it won't get better and I wish I would have left after 2 years instead of 5 and I'm so gald she doesn't have children with man. Help me. Either tell me what to do or send her some encourageing words I can print off for her. Thank you and god bless us all. HUGS and Prayers to you all.>JO
