My friend’s husband violently attacked her and now her personality has changed

DEAR DEIDRE: MY friend’s husband once broke her jaw and I’m so worried about her.

She has turned from a bubbly, outgoing person into a shell of herself.

But she’s too scared to leave. She told me he said he’d kill himself if she did.

We’ve been friends for 20 years. I’m male and 44 and she’s 43. Her husband of 18 years is 48.

She makes excuses for him, but it’s clear he beats and abuses her.

I barely see her because she cancels nights out at the last minute.
