@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.

Yeah, they are used to it but the house sale and halving throws another massive change into the mix for them, for all of them
