My one friend is being brainwashed by her mom..help..?

Question

last time i saw her was 6 years ago. she is the same age as me

im 30..but after she puts her makeup on and the clothes she wears she ages her self 30+years to look and act just like her mom

she dont dare think for her self or live life the way she wants

its all apart of her mom's plan they go to the same church

its so creepy i get so mad at her mom for it but she made that choice i guess is there anything i can do to help this poor girl out

she is coming over today and she wants me to help bring out her inner child do all the things we used to do when we were younger before life became strange and complicated for her

Answer 1

Go easy, maybe she likes being like her mother.

Usually ones who get make overs return to the way they were before the make over.  At 30 years old she is pretty much what she is going to be.  In times past and in some countries that is the average age, at death.  So just be her friend and don't try to change her.

You never tried to change her when you were kids?  why do it now.
