okay. im really. really. really. stuck. i have this friend named luke, and hes been my best friend since.. well. i cant even remember probally since i was born, and im really close with his family. I moved like 7 years ago so we dont live very close but we still see each other often, but.. i just found out from my mom that my friends dad.. got addicted to perscription meds and started to drink with them. THen my friends mom filed a restraining order on the father and his father wound up sneeking through the window and grabing his mom and draged her down the stairs all in front of her 16 year old son and there 4 year old girl. they have 7 children and can barely put food on the table, and now that his dad is out of work, they are 4 monthis behind in morgage payments and dont have a car... and my friend still hasnt told me any of this. i dont no if i should approach him about it, or if i should wait for him to tell me...

his father would work his ass off to put food on that table.. he was always very loving.. i have no idea what lead him to this..

Woah, thats a real crappy situation. I think rather than going to him and straight out asking him, just open yourself right up for him, try to get into situations where he would feel comfortable letting it all out, because it really is his decision to tell you. Simply try to be the best friend you can be to him and even if he doesnt want to tell you, im sure he'll appreciate it.

If you open yourself up, he might take it like you are wanting help and so then he'll just feel pressured. It might make him cave in, but you don't want him to cave in. You just want him to be open.

Just always remind him that you love him and that you're always there for him, but make it discrete.

that sounds really far fetched to me...
