Anyone's parents divorce while you were an adult?
I found out over the weekend that a couple of my friends' parents are divorcing. Friends are in their late 20s or early 30s. Any advice on how to be a good, supportive friend?
Re: Anyone's parents divorce while you were an adult?
Sorry for your friends! I haven't been through it, but as with most things, I'd offer to be there if they want to talk about it or be distracted or whatever but also respectful if they withdraw a little. Everyone probably handles it a little differently, so you have to trust your gut with your friends.
I imagine it sucks no matter what age you are.
My college roommate's parents divorced our senior year. She was relieved. Happy about it, even.
Did this come as a shock to your friends? I'd say just offer to be a willing ear if they need to talk.
My parents divorced when I was small, so I have no advice for this situation. But I have plenty of pointers on how to do two Thanksgivings or two Christmases in one day!
Also, if your friends start to feel like their families are all screwed up, get a bottle of wine and rent Home for the Holidays (with Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Dermott Mulroney, and Claire Danes)...seriously, it will make anybody feel like she has a normal family in record time!
My parents divorced a couple of years ago. In fact, they were separated at my wedding. Good times.
I was upset about it, but I guess I felt like I had my own life, so I wasn't nearly as affected as I might have been if I was younger. I'd say just be there for them if they want to talk.
