My best friend just told me some things about her husband that doesn't put him in the best light. Really bad things that he has done to her in the past as well. He is a serial cheater. Anyway, she always tell me about it and I get concerned and then I don't hear back from her. I try not to say anything bad about her husband even though I think he is a peice of sh**. But she keeps believing his lies and going back with him. I don't even live near her anymore but we email about this stuff. Anyway, I found out that her son is having a really hard time and I got worried and said "I am always here if you need me" and to "take care of herself and her children and don't let anyone treat them less than gold" Now I don't hear back from her again. Does it sound like I'm prying? I'm just worried! I know she knows I hate her husband but I never say a word about it. I just wish she would stop reaching out to me and then slamming the door in my face when I try to be there for her!!! Any advice? Thank you!

Unfortunately, we cannot make our friends see the light - they have to do that for themselves. It's natural for you to be concerned, and I commend you for being there for her. However, it sounds like you may need to let her have her space - let HER come to YOU, do you know what I mean?
The only thing you can do is be there for your friend, which it sounds like you already are. No one can force her to leave her husband; as long as she knows you will always be there for you, you can try to rest assured that you are doing all you can. I'm not sure how much help that is, but that's my advice. Good luck.
