what do you do when there is nothing you can do? my friend's parents are going through tough times, and as a result my friends isn't on the best terms w/ her dad. i don't know whats going on but i do know that he has threatened to quit his job and leave them. she also has this "thing" for a guy and i am not saying that she is wrong for him or him for her. but they live totally and radically different lives. and i know that all of this is hurting her, but i don't know how to help her or talk to her about it b/c i have never been through any of this. what would you do? how would you handle it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
This is a really tough situation and its a good thing that you care this much. I would have to say theres not much you can do to help her parents solve their problems. But you can let your friend know that you can be her support. Don't assume that she knows she can talk to you...so let her know. Dont be pushy to get her to tell her problems to you and don't give help where its unwanted. Just be a friend and support her. With this guy thing, you have to really see if it is hurting her. If you know without a doubt that this relationship is trouble, then tell her how you feel. Ultimately, its her decision about how to handle things, but she is probably more likely to take advice from a good friend. You probably have more influence on her than you know. So this applies to both situations. Just let her know you have her back and support her and that you are there to help. Cant go wrong there! Good Luck
