My best friend is going through a divorce right now and it's so sad and I wish I could help her more

She's such a strong person and it's hard to see her in shambles. She's doing remarkably well, and it's been a long time coming, but still...

I am just trying to be there for her. She's worried about the division of things and that he might fk her over.

I am really hoping he will be civil. She's such a hardworking, loving and community-driven person.

I think once everyone knows she will receive lots of support. She left her home but doesn't want to lose the house.

It sucks being sort of helpless, but I will buy her treats and go shopping with her, and listen. It's what I can do.

But I wish I could just make it a year from now for her. I know she will be happier.

You’re helping her by supporting her heart with love, friendship, and encouragement. I hope she has an attorney who will help her with her needs.

Why not encourage her to keep her home together?

@FlowersInHerHair How do we know they can’t stand each other? No one knows what caused the separation. We now have decades of data the tell us children of divorce are more likely to carry the trauma into adulthood. Not to mention the effect on schooling and upward financial mobility. Unless there is abuse or severe dysfunction, it’s always better to try and work it out.

@Quetzalcoatlus I disagree.

@Quetzalcoatlus it is better that they don't work it out, and their children are in their 20s

He cheated on her, several times, with more than one person, and he degrades her in front of others

He causes her to question her own opinions and self-worth, they have entirely different friend groups and lead different lives.

She should definitely get some legal advice because he probably will fk her over. If they have kids, she definitely should get a lawyer

You’re doing the right thing by being a supportive and very good friend. She’s lucky to have you.
