Seeking Help for My Mother and Her Friend
My mother's friend, I'll call her Betty here, is very bossy and demanding. She is losing her temper, losing all logic, and thus losing her family and friends.
A few months ago, during an argument between she and her husband, he told her that he had started seeing someone else.
Yes, we all pitied her. But now, I am very angry at her and pity her husband much more. Her husband agreed to stop seeing the girl, but she would not let this go. She wants revenge, revenge on the girl!
Being her best friend, my mother is miserable and disturbed by how Betty has changed And how Betty keeps calling my mother about this matter and bosses my mother to help her in her revenge. My mother tried to calm her down. My mother tried to reason with her, telling her to use this time to amend her relationship with her husband instead of seeking useless revenge.
Betty would not listen.
Betty would not listen to anyone about anything that is different from her own.
Betty is making her whole family - her husband, her 2 children- and my mother (her only friend left) very miserable.
My mother tried to persuade her to see a psychologist, but OF Course, She would not Listen~
She thinks everything is everyone else's fault. She never stops to think about how she can improve herself.
She is violent to her children; and Argues with Everyone who might disagree with her.
How can my mother help Betty?
How can I help my mother to not get trapped in Betty's misery?
