My bestfriend's husband decided to leave her and has been staying at his parent's house for a week now.  He's very emotionally and verbally abusive towards my friend.  She's a stay at home mom and basically he says she is nothing because she doesn't contribute to the household.  He doesn't consider her an equal, he controls everything they do, from familyBirth control and family planning

Family troubles - resources is very narcissistic and they don't want to be embarrassed by this situation.  She is part of the wedding party but now she is afraid that if she partakes in the wedding, that it can be used against her if this does go to court.  Should she stick with her commitment to her husband's sister or pull out of the wedding short notice?
