She's 70 who lives in the conservative country.
In the past in that country, devorce was something she can't even imagine.
Her husband abused her phyaically for 50years and the country never punished abusive husband in the past. Still, they often treat the domestic violence as not that serious crime.
She killed her husband eventually.
Do you think she should go to jail or be freed? I think the society should have responsibility too

I have been friends with this girl for over 3 years now. She has been my rock for many difficult situations I went through in my life. I was a victim of domestic violence and abuse, she helped me stay calm, strong, confident, secure, loved. She is very understanding, open-minded, a great conversationalist, I enjoy spending time with her. She is a great listener, wise beyond her years, even though she is a teenager, like me. I've always heard from others how she talks nothing but the best about me. She knows my soul.

But there are some little things that have always made me question weather she's a true friend or not: 98% of the time I am the one to initiate conversations and textings, 97% of the time I am the one to suggests going out together. The things became worse after she found her first boyfriend (10 months ago). He is friends with an enemy of mine and he hates me. He has been draging her away from me. She spends all the time with him and she barely finds one evening a week to go out with me. I've seen him trying to distract her on the street so that she won't see me and talk to me.

2 days ago I celebrated my 19th birthday. I am known for throwing the best parties in town. It's been like that since 9th birthday. Wich I just realized is 10 years now. 😀 There is always a lot of people. For some reason (still don't know why), only 3 people showed up now. It was very very bad. She was one of them, there were 2 more girls. The plan was to go to an afterparty out, to a café and the other two arranged plans with their boyfriends. I felt disrespected. But than my BFF said she will go out with her boyfriend, as well. I was in disbelief. She betrayed me. She dumped me on my birthday, and chose HIM! As if he doesn't get enough days to see her. So she abandons me when my party was a total bust, instead of staying till the end and comforting me. No matter how nice she was about it, it didn't help. Is she my friend at all? What should I do? (Explain why)
