Ending a Relationship Forum - Trying to Help a Friend....please Help

Hi,

my friends parents (she is 28, I am 24) are recently seperated, her mum ran off with her dads best friend, after an affair of nearly 7 years and she is not coping and I do not know what to say or do

please I really want to help and comfort her through this but would like any advice to help me do this.

She hardly speaks to her mum and is finding she has to be with her dad every second she has free......Ihe feels that he has nothing to look forward to anymore...Hes coming up to his 60th birthday and now she is getting depressed to

many thanx

Ouch! Adultery is never a pretty thing. I'm sorry to hear about it.

I don't think there's a whole lot that you can do, ran_dom. Let your friend know that you are there for her if she ever needs anyone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. Just keep yourself available and she'll come to you if she needs to. The best thing you could do right now is listen if she wants to talk.

Good luck. I hope everything gets better.
