Re: worried about my best friend
Hey @maldrin44, thank you for reaching out and telling us about your concern for your best friend. It's absolutely terrible that this is happening to her. The fact that you posted your concern shows that you're a lovely best friend. I'm sure that you're doing this already, but please continue to give her a supportive and safe environment whenever you hang out with her, since her mother fails to do this.

Re: worried about my best friend
I just wanted to say I second what kaii has said regarding the support links they have provided in their message and your concerns show just how good of a friend you are. I also wanted to add that whilst supporting your friend and being there for her is important during this period of time - don't forget that if you also feel like you need support, feel free to message us or at least make sure to look after yourself as it can be a challenging time for you as well as your friend.
Hope everything becomes okay soon
