Broken down from the inside out
She tells me about him.
Emotionally cruel
Manipulative
Verbally abusive
She doesn't say in so many words
But the message gets across.

He has made her need him.
Rely on him for her validation
For her existence.
Now he is all she has.

A grown woman breaks down at work
In front of strangers, employees.
He is hurting her
On the inside.

She told me a lot more, too.
But what can I do?

Why would she tell me?
