[Spock]

She did what she had to do and call and they took everything away fom him that could hurt him. Now iam finding out he has a abusive father and needs to be taken out of his home because of it. I feel all different emotions right now and was wondering if i did the right thing????

Well there is no point in wondering whether it was the right thing to do or not, point it you can't change what's happened in the past and you can only try and make things better for the future. In my opinion, No, i don't think that was the right thing to do but if you didn't tell someone his home situation may have gotten worse. There are good and bad points but like I said there is nothing you can do to change them. You wanted your friend to get help and so you tried the hardest you could to make him feel better. Do you know how he feels about you telling? Is he mad at you? If he is then give him some time, don't try and defend yourself because it can feel as though you betrayed him. Over time though he should see that you did the right thing, just let him have space.

Personally, I think you did the right thing. You never know where things could have gone, not even a day after, if you didn't tell someone. For all you know, he could have been gone.
It may be hard for him to realize this, but eventually, I think he will. He'll realize you did it to protect him, and if he is a true friend, and trusts you, he'll know what you did was right.
The actions taken may not have needed to be so drastic, but there is nothing you can do about that. Don't dwell on the past. Be relieved that he is all right, and is, in some way or another, getting help.

i have been cutting for more than a month, i just didn't all of sudden say ''I'm gonna cut myself'', its been a lot more than a month. You did't get her to take everything that was hurting me, you got her to try to take some of the most important people from me. It always ends up being the computer, now its really hard to talk to Shawna and now my dad uses the excuse '' he has a computer so you can't go over there anymore'' so icant go by my uncle. You didn't make at home any better.
