@thenomad No, I'm not sure exactly how to reach them unfortunately. She doesn't have a very good relationship with her parents and is rebellious against them.

@saminspires I used to visit her often until recently when I moved out of state. Her and I still talk every week anywhere from 2-5 hours total. She updates me on everything. Sometimes I hear her kids in the background calling for her. I've sent her care packages and have bought food for her and...

@nirelandgillian I'm sorry you had to experience that. If you don't mind me asking, how did that affect you growing up? What's your relationship with your mom like? You can private message me if you'd rather do that.

@richbeloved I've had many talks with her. I advised her to focus less on Tinder guys. I also cautioned her not to move too fast with online guys she hasn't met yet. She tells me she's in love and is absolutely sure he's the one (this has happened several times over the past two years). Then the...

@crownedforgiven I very recently moved out of the state so I'm not sure how that would pan out. Also, I don't completely have my tihs together either (not in a bad way though). I'm just not in a position to be a full-time carer of dependents. I don't even have pets.

@richief Thanks for your input. I've had many conversations with her over the past couple years regarding my concerns. She'll usually say everything is gonna be ok, then the guy ends up ghosting her, she comes crying to me, I comfort her and also urge her to use the time to focus on her and her...

@richbeloved Ok thank you. I'll be brutally honest with her since that's what it seems like its come to at this point.

@richbeloved Well beyond the care packages I sent, the resources I provided her, the advice I've tried giving her, bringing her kids supplies and food, visiting her and her kids, playing with them, and hours almost every week for two years straight of her crying to me regarding another Tinder...

@cg520 Thanks, I agree. Sorry you had to deal with everything with your ex-wife btw. I hope things get better.

@cg520 Yes, I know she was abused. She has photos of bruise marks and abusive threatening texts from him. She showed me them. He also made me feel uneasy back when I met him at their baby shower (when my friend was pregnant). I'm slim (5'7 and 125) and he laughed at me and said I look anorexic...

@zimen The father of her kids is unreachable and abused her. He physically beat her after their second was born. That's why I advised her to take legal action against him (and provided her with resources and contact information to legal aid). It's been two years and she hasn't taken any type of...

@nirelandgillian I'm not exactly sure how to contact her parents unfortunately. The last time I saw her parents (who are divorced) was when I was 18 and they brought my friend to my 18th birthday party. She seems rebellious against her family and doesn't like mentioning them.

@tana777 She's sort of always been like this but not to this extreme. For example, when we were younger (teens, early to mid-20's) she got attached fairly quickly and intensely to whoever she was dating or had a crush on at the time. It became even more extreme after she had kids and the father...

@estherruth I sent her a care package already with food and essentials. Also gave her information to local food banks.

Cross-posted to another sub last night. A couple of answers said I should call CPS. Wanna make sure this is the right thing to do since I'm not a parent so any advice from parents here would be greatly appreciated! My childhood best friend of 15+ years is a single mom of two kids under 4 y/o...
