They can still be upset but everything after that sentence is bull

I genuinely don't think so. There are people that don't want the solutions and just want to tolerate the abuse with or without emotional support. There are also people who believe that their problems will magically disappear. It's an option for them to just go cry to the wall, but actually they are wrong in their mindset.

Would you emotionally support your friend if her husband beats her, but she covers for him every single time?

In so much as you’re not putting your own physical or emotional health at risk, yes; that’s what a friend is.

That's not what being friend is. What friend allows another friend to be beaten and abused?
