My best friend is crying because her parents sent her to live in a group home?

So her cousin she was staying with kicked her out two weeks ago and she begged her parents to let her move back in. According to what she told me is that a group home that will teach her independent living and social skills for her to need to live on her own. She is still adjusting to it but she wants to go home but her parents said that is her home now and she will have to learn how to adjust to it and she has out enough stress on them as it is. Her dad almost had a heart attack because of her stress. Not saying it’s her fault. She’s autistic like I am but we’re both high functioning. She has been begging me for two weeks to live with us but i told her sorry but there no room and she shouldn’t have to learn to adjust. She demanded her parents to let her move on back home but they kept hanging up on her and she is telling me I’m a bad friend for not letting her stay. She’s the one that’s been mooching off her parents and refuses to get a job. I’m always there for her, but I encourage her to get a job and she just won’t. She’s 31. Please help.

Sometimes, tough love is the best. I quit making negative comments about other's situations because I never know all the true facts.
God is the only judge that counts.

@Mktonght Yeah. I told her that her parents are doing what they have to do to help her shape her up and sometimes tough love is the best way. Sorry but she can’t stay with us. She won’t talk to me because she’s saying I am being a horrible best friend for not letting her live with her.

@ElizabethBabe1994 I am hopeful that eventually she will understand that what you did was for her in the long run.
