Something is seriously wrong.

One of my best friends has something wrong and they will not tell me about it. All I know is that something is going wrong with his mom. I really want to help my friend out here but I dont know what I should do about it. When I mentioned it he kicked me and broke my thumb. How do I ask him to explain it to me without making him upset?

Just let him know you’re there if he ever decides to talk about it. Maybe it was something embarrassing, or maybe she’s sick and he’s expressing his grief through anger.

Spend as much time as possible with your friend so that when he feels like opening up, you will be there to listen. He may wish to keep his problem to himself of a sense of family pride or loyalty. Remember to be supportive and be prepared to be discreet with personal information, if he does talk about it.

I’d recommend telling him he can come to you for support but you will not tolerate being kicked or anything of that nature. Let him know that you are there for him and then give him some space on the issue, don’t push it. If he wants to talk about it he will when he’s ready. These things can’t be forced although you are sweet in caring for him.

You cannot force this person to tell all. I guess, the best thing to do is to remind him that you are just there for him.
