Recommended a good counsellor for her! Life's too short to be bullied for all of it!
She is right 100%!

He probably treats everyone like that so she probably has no friends.... and he would have caused a scene if she had refused to go and she knew it.. You can bet he knew you were invited to stay for dinner too and that is why he did that.

I would let her know I didn't appreciate being put on the spot like that, it is her life and she can live that way if she wants to but please leave you out of being treated like that again! Then add, and I will cook you dinner when you have had enough of that jerk and leave him!
