Were she someone I knew as a friend, my advice to her would be therapy to understand why she stayed in a relationship like that so long and to understand how NOT to get into another one like that. Sounds like she doesn't have any idea what she's doing relationship-wise.

Long story very short. 49 years old college graduate with a good job. Crappy relationship with her mom. The ex is a deadbeat dad, but party fun dad with the kids. Her mom and dad help with college for the oldest 2 kids. She’s afraid mom will cease helping so she’s looking for someone “who’s emotionally and financially stable to help me get my kids through college”

I’m on shaky ground both financially and emotionally. I told her this on our first date, and explained why. She was fine. Until she wasn’t. Good riddance. I’ll be more careful next time.
