My Friends are Falling Apart

Both of my absolute best friends are basically having their lives torn apart right now. One of their parents are getting a divorce completely out of no where and her mom is sleeping with some dude from work. It doesn't help that her and her boyfriend (which I'm pretty sure are going to get married some day) have had it crazy for the past few months with one of them cheating and then breaking up and then they both tried to make the other feel the worst by saying awful things. Then my other best friend and her douchebag boyfriend broke up and she took it out on her mother and said some really awful things to her and then pretty much just went to live with her dad. And all the while I'm caught in the middle of both of them...

I don't know what to do to hhelp them anymore and they keep dragging me in deeper. I don't regret knowing absolutely everything or being there when they fight (by complete chance) but they both depend on me so much and I feel like I'm being crushed between them. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Just remember that while your friends need you, that being there for them and helping them doesn't mean you have to get depressed and stressed.

In the end everyone is their own person. You need your inner soul.
So, create a bubble of fresh air around you, between you and your friends. You need to breathe.

^^ G'luck!
Things will all blow over soon, they always do. I hope your friends get through it fine ^^/

Oh dear what a stressful period
What I would advice to you is to be their listening ear since obviously their life isn't going on well HOWEVER at times do give them space too because they need to deal with their issues at times and you can't always be there 24/7 with them! Maybe at times go to fun places to help them take their mind off the things when things get too much

It's great how you are there for them but it's obvious that you are too stressed for them.
