She lives with her mother who has in the last 3 months told her that she has been having an affair with a married man for over 7 years and that she is now also married to the man. Furthermore, the man's other wife does not know about her mother. My friend is now stuck on what to do and hates her mom and her new husband for what they're doing to her. She is left with all respnsibilities such as bills and there is no one to help her. When she told them about this they said she was being selfish and did not want her mother to be happy. I really don't know what she can do as there aren't any child services to speak of in this country. Please help!

 I don't know. Our country has laws against people being married to more than one person at a time. I think what this triangle of adults are doing is wrong. It's not right for your friend to have to live under those conditions. It's sad when children have concerns about the behaviors of their parents.
With her parents being divorced. Could she talk to her father about something like this. He may know better, in your country, how to deal with this issue and what her options are.
It really isn't about the mom being happy or not, it's about the mom gaining happiness in the right way, and a way her children can look at her with respect for not only doing what's right, but teaching her children what's right.
Take care.

It's not her job to run her mum's life. She should just love her mum and wish the best for her.
