A friend of mine shares me regarding on what is happening in his family. We sit and i listen to her. She told me that his parent is in the state of misunderstanding and broke out. That incident really put my friend in deep trouble. She doesn't know what to do because her parents would not want to talk about the issue. She really loves her parents but he can do nothing about it. I always see her in her sad and gloomy face. What shall I do? Can somebody help me?

as a friend, the usual thing to do is give advice, but really, we shouldnt, cause it may cause bigger problems. the best thing to do is to listen to the person, use therapeutic communication, dont give advise, dont assure them of anything or give false promises, this could make things worse. also, prevent ur friend from doing sumthing stupid like hurting self or other people, cause hurting never really is a good thing.

as a friend, you should help him by motivating her. Don't let her stay alone with her sadness. Give her undrestanding that there is a wishdom beside this problem. god is a good creator. He will give us the best for problemm. God gives us a problem because he loves us.
