Some people only understand love expressed through violence. They subconsciously seek out people that will make them feel secure with their past experiences. She needs counseling to help her to be aware of the choices the is making. Not much you can do except to not enable her making poor choices by coddling her and accepting her behavior. If someone beats you, you walk. That is the only acceptable choice...if she does not walk then you have to let her know you do not support her choice to continue to allow herself to be harmed.
