my friend is in the shittiest situation. her mom is abitch, she fucks random guys, sometimes hits her, calls her fat and ugly, makes her cry, locks her in her room, and has mood swings. i honestly think her mom has some mental disorder or something. she doesnt deserve to have kids because she is a horrible evil bitch and makes my friend feel like shit. now i am the one she calls after she fights with her mom and is sobbing, and i feel so b ad beacause i dont even know what to say half the time. seh cant live with her dad, grandpa/grandma or anyone else. her mom hates me and my mom for no apparent reason and constantly says shit about us. now i do NOT know what to do and im on the verge of crying because i feel so stressed bcause i feel like it is my responsibility to help her, but i dont know what to do . i told her any time she wants she can stay with us for whatever amount of time, but since her mom hates us we're both afraid her mom would drive over here, steal her, and then yell or hit her or something. im trying to think whats best for my friend, but she doesnt want to have any people that are from like foster homes or anything get involved , and she doesnt want to switch schools or move because it is a big step for her. she is very afraid and i need to know how to help, and i know youre going to say get the police or something involved but i just dont know what to do because what if her mom gets pissed and like beats me up or something or if my friend moves away and becomes depressed and hates me for ratting her out or whatever i know its for her own good but that is the last thing on her mind.
please help me

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship? ductape_n_roses answered Monday August 28 2006, 6:43 pm: I'm really sorry you're going through this but seriously, you need to go tell the police or call the hotline for child abuse for your friend. I mean she could end up deadbecause of her mom and it's much better to lose a friendship then a friend, right?
Her mom seems to not know the word responsiblity. If she was gonna give birth to a life, she should take care of that living being instead of abusing her.
Go to www.safeyouth.org and click the button (top center of the page) that directs you to a assistant on there. Talk to him or her (you'll remain anonymous) and see what the best situation is because I don't want to worsen the situation.
But keeping your friend over at your house as much as possible is the best idea I can give you right now. And again, I'm really really sorry about this. And remember if you think that you're the only one that can help, help and not think about ruining the friendship or what your friend wants. What your friend is wanting is impossible if she wants to get out of that house [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
Cux answered Monday August 28 2006, 6:42 pm: Hello-
First off- do not feel like this is your fault.. because it is NOT your fault.. nor will it ever be...
I know you said both you and your friend are scared that by telling the police- her mom will go off on a rampage and hit your friend... but if you don't tell the police.. at least have your friend (or do it yourself if she doesn't feel comfortable) tell your counselor at school how her mom is abusing her... If she has any marks on her- then it provides proof- but if not.. then you might not be thought to be telling the truth...
And if you would talk to your friend before either of you tells the school counselor- that would be great! and if your friend doesn't want you to tell the counselor- tell her that you really care about her.. and you don't want her to be hurt anymore... If you listen to her and don't tell the counselor- then this problem will just persist and your friend could seriously get hurt...
Remember- no matter what you do.. someone needs to tell a teacher or school counselor about this mom's abuse so that your friend can be taken to somewhere safe...
I hope I helped

kc answered Monday August 28 2006, 6:41 pm: oh WOW. well this is a REALLY tough siduation that i don't think you can handle on your own. Maybe talk to your mom about it. Maybe the cops or going to a principal is a good idea. You are a very good friend caring about her like this. If you call the cops make sure you explain everything that is going on. But i'm not sure if it sounds serious enough to go to the police. so maybe a principal or a counsilor or something will be better. but if things get too out of hand, cops are the best choice. if you tell the cops or something, she will have no chance to beat you up. and if she does this lady really needs help.
