Did you tell your friend that she should stay away from those abusive friends?

@Berrygal Then there's no way to help her. Let her realise that on her own.

The short answer is that your friend needs to get this person out of her life.
The long answer is that your friend probably (consciously or sub consciously) thinks that she deserves this kind of treatment. As long as she feels that way, even if she is able to get away from this abuser, she will attract others to her who will treat her the same way. So really the first thing you need to help her do is to understand that she is a valuable, worthwhile person, and that she is not deserving of this abuse. To do this may take time, and she might need to talk to a professional to help her work through it.

Yes. Make her realize that her friend is good for nothing and she is better off without that friend of hers. But it is still her decision.
