Ask Allison: My friend is emotionally abusive to her partner and the father of her child. How do I broach this with her?
"Question: My lifelong friend is emotionally abusive to her partner and father of their child. I've known her for 30 years and I know and understand her tendency to be controlling and overly analytical but I feel that it's gone to the next level in her relationship. She has always been quite destructive in her relationships and I've seen many of her previous partners crumble under the stress and pressure of her invasive need for honesty and transparency."

A lifelong friend exhibits escalating emotional abuse toward her partner and the father of their child. The friend demonstrates a longstanding tendency to be controlling and overly analytical. Those tendencies have intensified within the current relationship, reaching a more severe level. The pattern of behavior has repeatedly proved destructive in intimate partnerships. Multiple previous partners have crumbled under the stress and pressure generated by an invasive demand for honesty and transparency. The dynamic creates significant strain on the partner and co-parenting role and increases risk of sustained emotional harm and instability for the family.
