We all know that good friends are truely a treasure to us and we need to do our best to bulid up our frinedship.But sometimes,your friends need your help as well,especially when they have some kinds of family problems in their family.For example,some may be beaten up by their husband.Some maybe ran out from their family or some may never wants to go back to their family.Anything,you name it.But as a friend,how did you help those friends and sometimes we have to admit that,that's nothing you can do at the moment,except pray for them or just listen and cry with them.Share about your experiences

I was still shock went I come to think of it. My friend and her partner were pretty good with one another. Her partner seems quite a sweet guy as well, but I heard from my friend said her partner just used a knife threaten to kill her 2 days ago for she is not being honest (just because she had her salary raised and didn't tell him). What sort of man is he I wondered?

Yes,I also wonder what sort of this sweet man will be.I guess it may bean reaction from his past experience of betrayal by someone else or he just wants to control your friend.But anyway,use a knife to threaten a girl is totally unacceptable no nmatter what the reaosn he got behind it.All I can say is "What a guy" and for sure he is not that sweet as well.Anyway,it i sgood to have friends like you whose willing to listen to her,otherwise ,she may suffer more.It is always to have good dfriends around when we have problems and difficulties.We may not be able to solve others problems but sometimes,just be there and be a good listener,will be enough for those friends who need help from us.I guess,the feeling of " I am not alone and somebody is with me and that person cares" will surely be the greatest support for any people who need support at that moment.I hope that we have more friends surround us like angels when we need help in the futher.

my bestfriend was married now and before she got married she encountered a problem with her younger sister, she have said some words that really hurt my bestfriend. one day before her wedding. she ask her sister to help her because she got some financial problem on her wedding. she though that her sister would help her, but she heard from her sister that why do you get pregnant when you dont have enough money to spend on your wedding. my bestfriend really cried a lot, because instead of relaxing and have some beauty rest she get some pain from her sister. i advice her to not to think what her sister said, to solve her problem i lend her some money.

my friends come to me whenever they have problems. I suppose I am the bad-weather kind of friend because they hang out with me when they have a problem because they know I listen to them rant and rave until they run out steam. They usually come to me for marital advice (though I've never been married) and I think I the only thing I can really offer is a shoulder to cry.

I think it may be not suitable to talk about it !It' about privacy!
once my best girlfriend (I'm a girl too)told me that she had no intention of being the other woman but had did! I was so amazing that I couldn't say nothing
because my friend is a sentimental girl. I was afraid of her injured !
At last, she broke uo with that playboy, thanks god!

Well, i have more friends with lots of problems. They never mind sharing all and some of them feel, i can give them a good solution. But whatever it is, i will pray them for their relief and peace. Family problems are generally emotional and silent killer which makes them mentally upset and depressed.

It was just yesterday that I spoke with a friend and she shared to me that she and her husband have separated since last month. I'm kinda shock though coz I didn't expect it to happen. I didn't even have an idea that they were having problems because she was good in keeping those things. Anyway, she asked for my help with regard to work. She needs work at this time coz according to her, her husband doesn't provide even for the kids. My friend is a housewife ever since I've known her, so it's difficult for her to find job at this time. I referred her to my company as online teacher and even introduced myLot to her so that she'll have an outlet if she's feeling so down. I hope i can help her more, we'll see.

The only thing I can remember now is when I had an old coworker friend who was mad at his wife and threatened to kill her. I was young, a third year college student, but i guess i had a little wisdom and talked him out of it. I have more family problems than I have friends with problems.

I have two very close friends and we three have been friends for years. The other one's problem is the unfaithfulness of his husband, while the other is her two son's total lack of interest in their studies. In these cases, all I was able to do was listen to their outpouring of heartaches and pains and at times give advices which i hope will help lift up their spirits. Yes you're right, in these situations, it's hard to find ways to help solve their problems. The most we could do is to provide a shoulder to cry on, let them feel that you'll be there for them and prayers for deliverance from their problems.
