AITAH for telling my new friend that I don't support her decisions?

TW Abuse

I have known this woman for only a few months. She reached out to me first and we hit it off instantly. But unlike her, I take my time to consider someone a friend.

During get togethers with a bunch of people, she used to mention that she has been through domestic abuse and violence from her husband. One day I met her parents and I got to know the whole picture.

She had grown up wealthy and her dad earned every million from the scratch so his children could have the generational wealth that he couldn't have. I got to know that she repeatedly cost them money due to poor dating and bad decision making. She married someone against her parents wish.

She CHOSE to stay with her violent and abusive husband for years, behaving like his rehab while she constantly drained money from her parents. Unlike most of the abuse victims, she had a entire village offering support on a silver platter and waiting for her to take it.

She knew that the girl her ex husband used to date before her, had more than 5 miscarriages. Despite that, she chose to be his victim instead of choosing freedom. She says she wants to expose his lies but stays silent. She knew he was cheating on her.

In the meantime, she became an alcoholic and a chain smoker. She stopped talking to her parents after getting pregnant and instead of going for MTP like a normal human, she chose to keep it despite her parents and others asked her to do it for her own health and financial condition.

Her parents family lawyer and well known police guys tried their best to convince her to file it under domestic violence and attempted murder. The husband tried to kill her and she escaped to her parents house for shelter and filed for mutual divorce. She even refused to get a restraining order against him saying that the offspring would miss out on its father if she did so.

Her father paid hundreds of thousands countless times to court, just so he could get his daughter the freedom an unworthy partner. The criminal ex husband walked away from the divorce as a free man. Now he is out in the world causing more harm to who knows how many women.

Her offspring needs a special school for his behaviour and personality. It has a lot of disorders and she refuses to check it. She is in denial and says that he is going through a trauma response and he is not a special needs child. Now she is expecting her parents to look after the burden she produced with her ex.

They are pretty old and mentioned that they won't be able to do that. They had a retirement plan of travling abroad. Now it all went down the drain because they are forced to pay for a burden they didn't ask for. Its costing them in many thousands every single month and she is not even working to pay for it.

She used to share this with me every second day and I was tired of listening to her whine without doing anything to pay back her parents. She kept blaming them and called them emotionally unavailable and even justified that they are the reason she fell into her ex partner's trap.

I have had enough of this and told her that she is the only one responsible for her misery, no one else. I brutally told her she let a criminal walk free because she was too busy hating her parents; adding that she made decisions with her uterus instead of using a brain when she produced a burden and chose her criminal husband repeatedly over everyone other supporter in her life. I was ruthless when I let her know that she is complaining about having a privileged most people don't even know how to dream of.

She went cold for a couple of days and didn't hear from her. I feel like I'm done with her but at the same time I want to offer what she is looking for but I don't know if I can or what it is.
