It's scary how one man can impact a woman.

This is going to be a long one.

I have 2 good friends that I've known since high school. I recently learned a few months ago that one of them has been seeing an older guy for the past couple of years. She's a lot younger and never had attention from a guy, so you can kind of see where I'm going with this. There were a lot of red flags. He was a lot older. She always had him drop her off 2 blocks from her house. She told our other friend about him and when she met him, she felt that there was an evil vibe about him. She asked him what his intentions were and he did not like that at all. He wanted her to get an apartment with him, but she said he had to meet her family. The thing is he was always coming up with excuses to not do that. He was trying to isolate her. Thankfully she did not move in with him. In March she said they went to a hotel and were intimate, but learned that he made terrible remarks about her body. She found out eventually that he was married with a kid. He told her that he would be honest with her and all that bs. She even tracked him down at a strip club and was very hurt but of course he had excuses for that too. She forgave him.

I had no idea at the time what was going on because she never told us. A few months ago I learned from my other friend that she tried to commit suicide because of all the things she found out about him. She's been in therapy and Thankfully hasn't tried to harm herself. She sent us messages about how she wishes she never found out he was married. She found his relatives and sent them messages letting them know what was going on. She says that she's prays for him to come back to her, she thinks that she can fix the bad parts of him. She wants to have a baby with him. She says she wants him only. She's even stalked outside of his apartment. She thinks hrs going to leave his wife and be with her. She thinks that we all hate her (we don't). We've tried to talk sense into her but she won't listen. She is beyond brainwashed. We don't know what to say to her anymore. She doesn't even want to come out with us because she'll get triggered somehow. We have a trip planned for Boston, but she probably won't come.

I'm hoping I can get some advice because all of us are at our wits end.

She is living in a fantasy at this point and we don't know how to get her to snap out of it. Her therapist said that she does not want to be happy.
