How do I convince my cousin to leave her abusive & controlling boyfriend ?
She's been with this guy for 6 months and he's very controlling and he cheats on her with his ex girlfriend. He doesn't like for her to have family over their apartment and he doesn't like for her to hang around her very close friends. He has been abusive to her multiple times, one of the times he stalked her to a grocery store and hit her and stole her purse, she had witnesses but she never pressed charges, she got back with him. Yesterday he choked her & hit her and broke the window out of her apartment and trashed it. She called the police and pressed charges, now she wants to drop them. today she wants to get back with him. He has stalked her numerous times and hit her while she was places with friends. He verbally abuses her and she already has low self esteem. I'm afraid he wll hurt her badly if she stays with him. What can my family to convince her to leave him?

Maybe give some free advice about: Abusive Relationships?
you need to look inside yourself and really decided is this person good for you is this a healthy relationship can i move forward in life with this person or will they hold me back if it took you to call the police is that something you want to do everytime you fight with him you must feel some kind of fear if you are calling the police he has anger issues and until he gets counseling for it it will continue so you need to try and get some help for him and stick it out if he wants to get help and stay by his side or move on with youre life

Unfortunaltey you can't make any woman in an abusive relationship leave her spouse. The only thing you could really do is try to make her see a therapist

It's really hard to help someone that seemingly doesn't want any help. There isn't a whole lot you can do unless she really wants to drop her husband.
Things you can try, however... you should contact a therapist specialized in abusive relationships, or a counselor, etc. They can help you set up an "Intervention" for your cousin.
Relationships like this can go on for years and years and they just get progressively worse. Without professional help, from some kind of social worker, psychologist or counselor that is accustomed to this kind of situation, you probably aren't going to be able to get through to her.
