Help with my best friend?

Question

Ok my best friend is going through a tough time right now. I think she has an eating disorder (she is seeing a psychiatrist though) and her family is very unstable. Her mom has many mental disorders (like OCD) and is very unstable. She is also an alcoholic. Her dad is also an alcoholic and he always threatens to "kick her ***". luckily, my friends brother lives with them (he's 17) and he always stands up for her. He basically holds the family together. Her and her brother are very close. He also always has to drive my friend places and pay for things because her parents can't do that. The reason I'm concerned though, is what's going to happen when her older brother goes to college next year. I know he'll visit and everything, but he won't always be there to support her. I have talked about this with my parents, and they said she could stay at our house a lot. I don't want to tell any officials, I don't trust what they'd do is best. Like, I'm not really worried about her safety, because I think her mom would kick her dad out if he actually hurt her, but I'm worried about her mental health, because of her eating disorder, she shouldn't be in an unstable home. So what do you suggest? thanks! <33

btw, we're both 14. (almost 15)

Answer 1

let her stay with you bcuz her dad is a beotch. Let the brother check on her at ur house time to time and see how its going.

Answer 2

One of the most important things you can do is to be her friend.  People can survive some really bad situations if they have a friend that they can talk to.  I would also encourage you both to make friends with Jesus and pray to him.  Prayer and human friendship aren&#039;t the same thing but together they can make a big difference in someones life.

Answer 3

i&#039;m sorry, doesn&#039;t she have any close relatives like uncles, aunts or grandparents she could live with?.do they know about her family unstability?..

i dont know which kinda school you go to but if it supports boarding i think she should opt for that...

if your parents would allow it she can live with you until her brother comes for holidays or something like that...

you are a good friend, girl... really and she&#039;s very lucky to have you....

keep it up i&#039;m proud of you!

i hope it works out, really
