I just feel terrible. It really is breaking my heart! She lives in a broken family. Her dad is pretty much a drunk and lives three hours away. Her mother just finished battling cancer and her older brother doesnt even go to school. Plus pretty much all her family smokes except for her and her brother. She just told me that if her brother doesnt start going to school her father is going to get custody of him in court. Things are just really screwed up for her right now. She is also really stressed about school and just everything. I feel so terrible because this isnt the first time things have been jerked around on her. I feel so helpless because I have no idea how she really feels because my family is really good. I just dont know what to say. And…well honestly Im a little worried for her life. I know it just sounds so dramatic but about a month ago my best friend, one of her best friends hung herself. It really opened my eyes to how real some of the problems were. That sort of thing happened in horror movies. Literally. I’d never dreamed it would happen for real. Especially at the age of fourteen. Im just so worried now because if things get a lot worse I dont know if she is going to hold up. I know this is a VERY extreme thing to do and the chances are a million to one but really. Im just worried. Advice?
I dont think having her move in would be an option. My parents..dont exactly like her. When you live in a house like that you dont exactlly retain a lot of manners. She isnt a RUDE person she just doesnt always use the proper manners.
