ADVICE | TOUGH STUFF

Bombshell: My bud told me her dad abuses her

 
My friend told me her dad abuses her and is always drunk. Her parents are divorced so she only has to go over to his house every other weekend and a day in the week. I don’t know what I should say to her! Please help!
 
This is heavy stuff, and neither you nor your friend is equipped to deal with it on your own. Your friend needs to get out of that situation: no girl should have to spend time with a family member who drinks and abuses her. Urge your friend to tell her mom what’s going on. This situation will probably require her mom and her lawyers to challenge the custody arrangement, so the most important thing is to make sure the adults in her life know what’s going on; that way they can do whatever it takes to stop it.

Hey girlie,


I can only imagine how tough things are for you. Because we wish you only the best, it’s extremely important that you speak to a trusted adult, such as a family member, doctor, guidance counselor, teacher, etc.

my best friend is being abused by her mom. its not to the point where she has to go to the hospital for things, but its hitting that causes bruising and just tonight her mom punched her in the face. her whole family is diagnosed with depression and her mom has breast cancer on top of that, i think there are other things seriously wrong with her mom mentally...my friend is convinced she even deserves it at times and her grades are slipping and shes always tired and stressed but she refuses to let me tell anyone because she thinks she'll wind up dead. i just don't know what to do, her life fancially would fall apart without her mother...its a lose-lose situation her family is ruined no matter what she chooses to do. i would never forgive myself if something serious happened to her.

Hey girl, check out this post for lots of helpful resources: "Have a serious problem to deal with?"  The most important thing for you to do is to encourage your friend to talk to someone about what's going on.  She can call a hotline (one of the numbers in the link above) or talk to a school counselor or an adult she trusts.  Also, if you need someone to talk to about  your friend, don't hesitate to seek advice from a trusted adult in your life.  The sooner your friend tells someone about the problem, the sooner she can get help to try to make things better.  Good luck, chica.

I kind of have a similar situation; my best friend told me that because her dad smokes so much she is addicted to it also from the second-hand smoke. She feels really guilty because sometimes she goes outside when her dad is smoking because she wants to smell some. She also has heart problems sometimes and she might get lung cancer from this. Her parents are divorced so she could go to her moms house but the court requires her to be at her dads sometimes. I am really worried I don't want her to get cancer!!! Her grandmother on her dads side knows but she can't do anything about it. Her dad has tried the nicotine gum, and patches, and the blue electric cigarettes but nothing last very long. Please help me I don't no what to do!!!

Hey girlie,

I would encourage your friend to talk to a doctor or counselor asap about what she's going through to get pro advice on how to deal with this situation. She needs to speak with a trusted adult to get this taken care of!

Thanks Lauren T, that's exactly what I meant! We are family friends with the family too, and I know they are good people with really good values...so I'm hoping it's just a sense of humor that I don't relate too. It's just been getting to me lately..but thanks for the advice!! Smile

 

Hey girlie, glad I could help! Different people find different things to be funny, but it doesn't make them a bad person.

If someone thinks jokes about race are funny..does that make them deep down a racist person or just somebody with a bad sense of humor?? Not really sure how else to word this question.. I have a friend that finds humor in things that sound really racist..but they are SUCH a nice person and I can't picture them really agreeing with the things they are laughing at....idk. Advice please?! Sorry if this made NO sense!!

 

Hey girlie, I think I understand what you're saying. Thinking that something is funny doesn't necessarily equal agreeing with it. I'm sure your friend isn't a racist person. It's probably just her sense of humor.
