Use empathic listening to help her. People don't like to be told what to do, but if you can help them gently see what's in their best interest then sometimes that works well.
Ask her how she would like to live. Help her find the courage to speak the truth about what she really wants, not what she thinks she is worthy of. Oftentimes people know what they really want but because they don't think they can get it they act like they don't want it. it takes courage to say, 'I don't like my situation but I don't know how to change it yet."
Good luck to both of you!
