She Doesn't Deserve This

[Lucille]

Ok everyone, I need your help. My best friend is having some trouble at home. Her parents are fighting all the time. And when the argument stops the start yelling at her for no reason. 

She's a good girl, a brilliant girl. She's healthy, incredibly intelligent, so kind and caring towards everyone (she even deals with me and all my problems), and she doesn't deserve any of this. 

She tries to hide it but I know she's in pain. A possible divorce is not something anyone deserves to live through, especially her. I know because I've been through it, I know how hard it is for the children of a divorce. I don't want her going through that alone. 

Everyone, I need your help to support her because she's not the type to ask so I am. 

Please help me help my best friend.

dear Lucille, you must be a really good friend to help her through this, and no it's always difficult to be involved as she is.

Could you just tell us how old she is, because this will determine how we can approach this topic. Geoff.

My friend is 16, almost 17, she's about to start the last year of high school so this extra stress is really going to bring her down. Which is why I need to help her. She also has a 13 year old sister.

Hi Lucille,

What a great friend you are being by her side and seeking help on her behalf! She is very lucky to have a friend like you.

It's very sad to hear what she is going throught she doesn't deserve to live in that environment, but thankfully she has your support.

Maybe it will be good for her to get away from it all for a bit so she is in a better environment, does she have other family members she could stay with for a bit ? Or another place where it is safe for her to get away for a bit ? 

Taking time away to relax and fixate on your own life is always good, i believe it would be good for her to take some time to her self especially that she is still studying at school.

But keep by her side support her decisions,and let her know your there for her your doing a really great job!! 

Goodluck and keep us updated!
