My young neighbour's partner has split up with her and moved out all in the space of 12 hours, leaving her and her daughter (not his, from previous relationship) quite distraught. The little girl is 3 and has got it into her head that he has left because he no longer "wants her" or "loves her", despite us telling her its just that he doesn't want to be with mummy anymore.
He kept borrowing money from my neighbour despite her not working as she is studying at university and I think it reached breaking point and she said no to him asking, so he left.
Neighbour is in her early 20s and it's thrown her for quite a loop, she didn't expect to break up and has exams shortly. She's also a bit panicked that she has to see him again as he has left a few important things that he wants back in the house.
I don't know what I can do to help, her parents live quite far away and she doesn't seem to have many friends as she isn't very social with people her own age and prefers to pop round ours and a few other neighbours' when she needs a chat.
I'm actually very concerned about her, she seems to be a bit vulnerable.
What can I do, if anything, to help her and her daughter?
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
