I think you're going to have to be blunt: "I'm really sorry you are dealing with this, but I am not comfortable watching someone's kids." Rinse, repeat. Stick to the same line and eventually she'll have to look elsewhere. Hopefully there's a safe DV shelter/resources in the area.

I think at this point you should offer to connect her with some resources for victims of domestic abuse and just firmly tell her that you and DH have discussed the situation and while you are sympathetic, you can not be personally involved.

@mrsrain: There are in our area, and I know she knows about one in particular because another mom shared that's where she donates clothes from her and her kids. She said she took some donations there herself, so I'm hoping she spoke to someone there.
@Mrs. Blue: That's the plan. DH is around this week so I'm able to avoid her for now. Maybe I'll be able to speak with her on Friday, then we are on spring break so some time would pass before I would see her again so hopefully time will make it less awkward.
Ugh, no fun to be in this pickle, it just feels so icky and uncomfortable!
