Don't respond. Just nod and smile but don't make conversation. Be respectful because no mater what she feels about her own dad, showing disrespect to her father doesn't reflect well on you or your friendship. \n\nI've been in situations similar to this and sometimes holding your tongue is the most civil thing you can do.

Mind your own business and let your friend handle it.  If she or he needs your help, they'll ask.  Then you have all rights to kick that persons *ss for messing with your friend.

He may have bi-polar disorder. I know someone with it and it sounds like your friend might have it. I recommend that he gets help soon. Make sure to never get too close to him if he goes on an angry rampage like that again. Just be careful, PLEASE!!! Once again, he needs professional help soon. Good Luck!\n\nP.S. You may need to talk to his parents, when he's not there, but don't tell him you talked to them until his parents are ready.

Its a Go Go from me! 51 oh please he is old enough to be her father! Dude needs some bashing from his wife! He deserves it! Tell your friend to be strong and keep ignoring him and if he still follows her at work etc tell her to report it as sexual harassment. Once he is reported he for sure will keep his distance!

My best friend screwed me in the worst way ever. He tried to have me arrested on false charges.\n\nI just walked away from him, I know the worst thing I can do to him is not to tell him what he did, and why it is wrong, he will be an as-hle for the rest of his life and he will screw himself.\n\nI haven't seen him since then, I will not see him in the future. He was a friend until he demonstrated his kind.

First, try to resolve things with your best friend, if you can't try and talk to another friend about everything, friends always help a lot. Second, break up with yor boufriend, he isnt worth it if he is threatening you! Thrid, try to start talking to your mom again, after all, she is the one who gave birth to you, keep in touch with her! hOpe I helped!

Give it a few years. Your brother is very aggrivating right now but after a few years, perhaps you will be the best of friends.

You don't have to deal with him at all.  Just because his dad is a friend of your family doesn't mean that you have to hang out with the kid.  And if your parents ask why you don't like him, tell them.

Call your Dad. Your Mom should be protecting you, not that scumbag. Even if the stepfather doesn't go to jail, maybe your Dad gan get you out of there. No matter how many problems it might cause, remember that YOU didn't cause the problems, that awful so-called "man" caused them when he did what he did. Anything that comes of it is NOT your fault. Call your Dad, please. Get yourself out of there.

Treat him like a little brother.  If your friends tease you, get new friends!  If they have no compassion for a person who is slow through no fault of his own, they are pretty cruel.

Sweetheart, hear me loud and clear:\nThis guy is a LOSER!! \nHe has NO respect for your friend, and is dangerous! That fact that he would bring a friend of his to make out with YOU makes him even WORSE!!! This is what leads to "date rape". Trust me on this. Please, if you have a good relationship with your father, AND you can trust him (because hopefully he is a good Dad), then TELL your father what happened! (Even if you think you will get in trouble, or you think "he won't understand"), if he is a good Dad then he'll understand A LOT MORE than you think he will!!! (He was that age too - once... ) and he knows that the ONLY guy dumb enough to act like that is the one who will eventually end up doing real damage!!  TELL YOUR DAD!! TELL SOMEONE WHO WILL HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!! If you don't feel like you can tell your Dad, then tell a guy that you believe has YOUR best interest at heart. (Someone you think of as an older brother, or your older brother, your uncle, friend, neighbor...) but TELL SOMEONE NOW!!!\nAnd for HER sake and YOURS, don't let ANYONE make you feel like you're being stupid or like you're doing something wrong - because you're NOT!! You are SMART & BRAVE!!! I wish MORE girls were like you!!! God bless you Sweetheart!! TELL SOMEONE!!

The way I see it, your best friend is the only one that is going to get really hurt.  Because your sister's ex is just talking to her to get your sister mad.  Your sister already made a decision and he is using your friend to make his.  Tell her to chill for a bit and see how things develop, just in case his "confused" like all men claim they are when they don't want to admit they f*cked up.  Good luck to all

First explain to your bff that its going to be hard for you not to hang out with her since you guys go on trips and stuff like that then you need to ask your dads gfs daughter why she said that stuff about your bff maybe your bff did something to offend her try to get them to make up and if that doesn't work then your bff is just going to have to accept that you cant really get away from you dads gfs daughter

It sounds like your daughter is letting her man's dominance and insecurities come between her and her brother. They are blood and nobody should interfere in that bond nor should she let them. That is extremely childish of them both. They are obviously in a different state with a new life and baby, so what threat does your sons friendship with her ex possibly hold. It's not as though he was going with him. Your son must have been so disappointed and hurt. The day will come when she needs her brother and if he chooses not to be there that will be her own responsibility. Your son has the right to maintain his friendships, especially those that have lasted 10 yrs as this one has. He has shown far more maturity in leaving the problems between his friend and sister to them and not taking sides than she is currently showing. You are not wrong at all. If I were you, I would be very disappointed in her and the decision she made.

I understand in a way.  How old are you by the way?  The "I hate my parents" stage mostly happens in the teen years.  (between 14-17) And alot of kids will get upset if they dotn egt their own way. I'm happy that you have respect for your parents, I do too for the most part. (im 15) I hope your friend decides that running away isnt the best way to solve her problems and I hope she starts seeing things a different way.

I agree, it's wrong. But if this person is really your best friend, then you should talk to them about it. If they have no good excuse, then obviously they aren't a very good friend, now are they?

hello, It would be beneficial for you to sit down with your daughter and talk to her about her dad. Please for her sake, try to understand her point of view about her dad, he may have mistreated you and her, but ultimately he is her dad, and she may be struggling with abandonment issues, and hurting so much that she is self sabotaging your relationship with her, to prove to herself that no one cares, and that everyone is unrealiable. \nIt is confusing for her but if you can not portray your negatity about your ex, or that situation, and try to remain nuetral... allow her to talk to you about her feelings , she'll gain respect for you and will listen to your rules in time. \nIt is clear that she is trying to manipulate you, and she may be playing on your heart strings, " Mom won't do anything, cuz she doesn't want to loose me." \nIt is hard as a mother, because we are not portrayed as authoritative, but you need to stand your ground no matter how much she laments, and cries, hollars... don't give in. If she doesn't do something she needs to be shown that there are consequences to her negative actions. \nAsk who her friends are, and when they come over, quiz them, ask them " so where do you live? what does your mom and dad do? " Chat them up in a friendly manner so she doesn't realize it's the third degree, and her friends will say " Hey your mom is cool!" They'll want to hang at your house, and you'll be able to keep a better eye on her.
