Hello, I'm writing to better understand the difficulties of a loved one.

Are there any resources describing the effect of early loss of parents (not by death, but by drug addiction) and the subsequent departure from home to live autonomously in early adolescence? And, perhaps, how to communicate effectively with somebody who has been through such difficulty?

I did the mistake and checked her social media which I didn't look up for almost two years. I have seen that she has married and with a child.
