Fidn help soon though becuase thi scna cuase serious emotional damge or depression. trust me, if you knew my family I've been through it.

Shelbyjune answered Thursday January 13 2005, 2:43 am: The Runaway Hotline or the National Runaway Hotline, as mentioned in one advice column are excellent ideas. But I'd try talking with a counsellor first. Since you mentioned that this lack of trust was based on "a long story," I'm assuming it was from a lot of things your friend did (i.e., lying or stealing or things like that). This would make sense that her mom would have trouble trusting her, and this would be an ideal starting place for counselling, both for your friend AND her mom. It would be a good idea to start with the friend, but communication needs to work between the two of them sooner or later.
If the situation is too difficult for Janice to tolerate, is there a friend she might be able to stay with for a short amount of time, assuming of course that her mother knows about it and approves? Running away is only a temporary solution to a permanent problem because the problem remains when you come back. I do not advise your getting between Janice and mom, but big Kudos to you for being loving and concerned for both of them. Hope I helped and keep in touch.-----shelbyjune [ Shelbyjune's advice column | Ask Shelbyjune A Question ]
