Are Scorpios irrational and illogical? (Emergency)

After what I was told today by my friend, I'm convinced she has no sense of reasoning whatsoever. Two years ago, she met a funny, nice, friendly guy. They got together, and they at one point broke up. They got back together, but she noticed he became more mean-spirited. He became verbally abusive, and eventually, he gave her death threats. We're still in high school, so she didn't take the situation too seriously. He even informed her that he heard evil voices in his head pressuring him to make bad decisions. But after every negative time she had with him, his possessiveness, love, and humor made her feel like no guy has ever made her feel before. So things became a cycle, and everytime he acted bad, she expected a positive moment to make up for it. Today, she told me that he's a sadist. He gets turned on by watching gruesome, horrifying videos online. Despite his craziness, she enjoys his acceptance of her kinkiness & curiosity so she tolerates his weirdness. She doesn't want to believe the atrocities he might be capable of, so she clings onto positive moments in their past. I feel like she doesn't love him for his personality, she only enjoys the way she feels about herself when she's with him. I told her straight-out that what she's doing is wrong. She told me that I'm right and I understand how she thinks, but she kept insisting that he's a good person & that she has painted such a bad picture of him.

It feels weird talking about this because I can't fathom how idiotic she's being, but are Scorpios usually this emotionally-driven? How the hell do I knock some sense into her? I'm a Virgo, and she tells me that I bring her back to reality, but of course she's stubborn and emotional and being manipulated. WHAT DO I DO.

Why do I have a feeling Mr.D is going to be all over this.
Let me start by explaining you that Scorpio's are irresistibly drawn to darkness, it is a pull which we struggle with all our lives. In fact, all human beings struggle with the constant power struggle of light and dark forces in their mind. Your friend is clearly experiencing this. She may know how wrong he is for her, and the harm that could come to her, but she's in a deep set denial because of her addiction to the mystery of it all. She's obviously a young girl, who doesn't have much control over her natural impulses. She's being highly illogical for sure- and she probably realizes that and consciously makes the choice to shove that awareness to the back of her mind and ignore it.
Also, reality is that she cares for him because of her attachment to who he once was, or how they once were when together. Scorpio's have a tenancy to love unconditionally even when their own well-being is at stake, and also cling stubbornly to nostalgic memories wishing we could bring them back to the present- and trying tirelessly to do so. You need to confront one of her parents about this for the sake of her own safety- forget any "code" you think friends have. This could be life or death, and one day you could wake up wondering if you could have done more to save her life.
Talk to an adult- anyone who has more power over her life, do it because later on she'll thank you.

You understand her so well it's crazy. Today, she told me how she always asks him questions about his bizarre behavior. Not because she accepts it or approves of it, but because it interests her how someone's mind could work that way. She's drawn to the mystery, just like you said. What do you think it's going to take for her to get herself out of this situation?

Stuff like this is not a specific sign thing. I can go down a list of women I know, or know of, from EVERY single sign that has been thru some crazy $ hit with a crazy guy.


Id just try to be there for her as a friend, and pray for her. Hopefully she comes to her senses.

Sometimes it takes a respected elder to intervene.
This may sound rather cliche- but someone as young and out of control as her needs that. She is going to continue accepting his sadistic behavior until someone reaches in and forces her out of it- and she knows this. She's pushing herself, shoving the boundaries of whats acceptable until it breaks and a calamity has to take place to change her decision pattern. Scorpio's learn from experience, and we are constantly seeking out new experiences whether we can admit it or not- because transformation is a part of our nature and development.
Her obsession with this boy's behavioral patterns could be her undoing, her lust for the unknown. The outer reaches and most bizarre facets of the human mind endlessly draw us- that craving to know what is mysterious and hidden- to study it. She is completely aware of herself, her mind, her decisions, the danger she is putting herself in. She's watching herself as if she's in a movie and wondering what the outcome will be.
In other words, she will not pull herself out of it.
Find someone who can hold her hand and help lift her out of this situation- find someone with power over her life and inform them as to what a critical situation she's in- do whatever you can do to potentially save her from a schizophrenic who's hearing voices telling him to hurt her.
