Whenever my friends call me in need of anything, it just devastates me. My good friend is so misunderstood and underestimated by her family, I am so deeply saddened by it. I try to be of any comfort in these times and as much of a "tough cookie" that I am, I feel nauseated by people who hurt my dear friends !! How can or could I change that ???

Because true friends share a connection to each other and when they hurt, we hurt. We want to help them but when we don't have the answers or ability to do so, it affects us. This just means you are a true friend. Take comfort in that. I know your friends do because I'm one of them.

Well It sounds too me like you and you friend know exactly what you need to do to fix the situation. You just need to tell her and she just needs to do it. Tough love is all. I need it in my life as well, both ways to be given and to get it.
You feel helpless cause you can't change what you know needs to be done.

It's called empathy. It may be painful at times but it's one of the signs of the noblest character traits one may possess, IMHO.
I too have that trait and I'd not trade it for love nor money.

If you feel that bad Clo then you are a TRUE friend to these folks! I hope they understand how lucky they are for true friends like you aren't always easy to find :)

I'm sorry. I thought you said you 'got topless' when a friend of yours has problems.
I was about to call you the best friend anyone ever had but then I realized that I misread your question.
