Friend needs Parent Counsling?

You should sit your friend down and talk to her. Tell her that you realize she's a "single parent" and it must be really hard for her to be doing so much all on her own [even though its not true, people like to feel like there doing a good job!] Say that her kids have expressed to you that they don't feel there mother is spending enough time with them. Tell your friend that parent counseling could really help her. You could even make up something about "another friend" who went to it and was so much closer to her children. It could really help! However, if she refuses to go or just blows you off and her children tell you about there mother hitting them again, you need to call CPS and tell them about this. Children who are being physically or verbally abused need to be removed from the situation. It can really damage there self esteem, etc.
