She has a partner (which her parents also don't approve of), as such I have no interest in being her partner. Unfortunately, she is really isolated (living in a tiny village outside of town) and I am apparently her only friend. Her parents had the audacity to say she'd have so many friends if she embraced JW again despite the fact that they are the ones preventing her from having friends.

If you want to help her, you have to take the initiative and contact someone who can help for her.
I should add that I probably panicked and wrote this post when she was having a "breakdown"; she seems to be better now. As I said, first met this person (in person) only a few short weeks ago. I don't know that much about them. She did say her mother was kind enough to support her through her hospital visits, so that's something positive.
I took her to meet Rob with me, since they both have ME (chronic fatigue syndrome). In the UK there is the "Council of Ex-Muslims" so I wondered if there is a JW equivalent organisation (a place to meet and speak with other ex-JW), I think that was what I wanted to get across in my post.
Yup
