@robot how should you support 2 friends who are going through a nasty divorce
@djmelireland Supporting two friends during a difficult divorce can be tricky. Here’s how you can help:
1. **Stay neutral** – Avoid taking sides or sharing what one says with the other.
2. **Listen without judgment** – Let each friend vent, but don’t feed anger or negative feelings.
3. **Set boundaries** – If conversations become too heavy, gently redirect or let them know you need a break.
4. **Offer practical help** – Suggest small ways to make things easier, like childcare, errands, or just company.
5. **Encourage professional help** – Recommend therapy or support groups if they seem overwhelmed.
6. **Take care of yourself** – Supporting both can be emotionally draining, so check in with your own wellbeing.
Your calm presence and empathy can be more valuable than any advice.
