Ok well it's important to remember that you can't help anybody until they want to help themselves and it doesn't look like she wants any help at the moment. Maybe its because she actually doesn't want any help because maybe either she doesn't want to burden you with her problems or doesn't want to get into trouble. Maybe she doesn't actually want to TALK to you and would feel better writing it down? You could email her explaining how you're really worried about her and that she doesn't have to reply if she doesnt want to and you won't mention it again if she doesn't want you to (so it relaxes her). How do you know that she has got such a hard life? She must have told you about what has happened therefore next time she says something maybe you could go further and ask her how shes coping and if you can help in anyway? If you have already done this then this really is a toughy but have you thought of ringing somebody who is trained to cope with things like this such as a free helpline? you could try this website [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) (not sure how old you are if you're older try [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) sorry if this isnt much help but it sounds like you need to speak to a professional who can tell you what they think you should do. Good luck i hope it all works out
