Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Carolyn Hax (my favorite advice columnist) generally recommends calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799 SAFE -- they'll have advice.

I need to get Loki a halter and a leash. (He bolted again and is now crying as if he's dying. I looked today, but they were out at petsmart.) He really likes being outside, but I want him within 5 ft of me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am delighted, because the magazine was one of the ones I thought was lost forever.
Yay!
My friend G. is now giving me reasons why everything I suggest is not workable. Right down to, the phone company is not reliable, oh and her mother might call.

I agree with do not engage at all, not one bit.
This. If he calls 100 times and she finally answers on the 101st call, it just "proves" to him that persistence works.
I agree with calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline and/or a shelter.

I really think your main suggestion should be to get expert advice.

5 more listings up on ebay. WHOOT!
If her mom calls she will leave a message. I have the ringer off on my phone and I still get messages! If she is really arguing against anything, then you can't do anything for her. If it would piss her off and maybe make her consider what you are saying, I would suggest that perhaps she likes the attention if she is unwilling to anything to thwart it. But you know, there's a risk in that.

Tell your friend to call a shelter/hotline (I said local because they know the jurisdictional shit) NOW. They can get through her head if anyone can. And that's not complicated. And what msbelle said.

I've told her not to engage. As long as she's still arguing with him, it's not over. I think that may have got through to her. Part of the problem is, she's still in love with him. She just can't deal with the alcoholism and the crazy self-destructive juvenile behavior and suddenly being the other woman. And I just found out, he's never introduced her to any of his friends or family. Seriously?
