This is a
HUGE red flag.
All the advice given here is great. I second the suggestion that she take a break from dating until she feels confident that she can avoid the abusers or at least recognize the warning signs.
I wish I could muster the courage to put myself back out there. I don't think that's gonna happen, though. After the last man I dated tried to keep me from my sons I'd had enough. And it made me question my own judgment.
Your friend is so fortunate to have a good friend in you.
