A friend of mine who is now 21 is unfortunately not in a good place at all.

Her parents have finally got divorced after a 15 year battle, she has lived with her father all her life, her mother left her when she was 3 years old and her she never really got any love from her mother, her mother is not interested in her at all sadly.

The 15 years of battle were bitter and difficult, her mother left to another country with a different man for a while which is why the proceedings were dragged.

The divorce is coming to an end now but unfortunately her father has had to hand over alot of money to her mother and they are left with very few savings, she has had to take a year out of uni to get a full time job in order to support herself and her father.

Now the issue is, i think obviously she has been traumatised by this whole experience and due to the lack of a mothers love but what she is doing is getting involved with terrible men and basically gives her body to anyone who is nice to her and then those men leave and she feels abdondent and lonely and rejected all over again.

I have tried to speak to her and support her but i just feel so frustrated at her situation and i want her to stop getting involved with these men who she thinks will make her feel wanted and loved but infact bring her spiralling further down.

I feel so helpless and dont know what to do!!

Next time she finds a person who is nice to her, she needs to marry hi,m before she gives her body to him.
