What can I do

[Clermont]

My daughter came for supper tonight, and told us she has filed for divorce from her husband of 5 years.

I don't know what to feel.

I've know there were problems, so I really shouldn't be surprised.

I just hate that she's having to go through this.
She's really struggling, blaming herself, even though he's the one who broke the Vows.

Besides being supportive, I just wish there were something else I could do to make it easier for her.

Just sending love and prayers dear.

Not much you can do but just be there for her as she needs a pair of ears. That’s what moms are for.

I hope there are no kids involved.

thank heavens no.
But he's taking her cat. Or I should say she's letting him take her cat. Which really burns my a$$ because she rescued him from underneath a dumpster at Burger King in 21' weather, and he's turned out to be a beautiful and amazingly smart.

One thing I might suggest is just listen n not get involved putting down “anyone” or telling them what to do. I’ve seen a friend doing that and it came back to haunt her with what she said. They got lawyers for that. Thank god there is no kids involved.

I've learned the hard way, to keep my mouth shut and just listen.

This is the second separation,

I can tell, she's had enough, (apparently he has a 'closet' alcohol issue, you would never know) her mind is made up.

I know Mandi, when she says she's finished, she's finished

She just keeps thinking of herself as a failure,

I hate that

. Thank god there is no kids involved.

Amen

Good for her.... I have to add that i am one that says "work through EVERYTHING" but have paid the price in many ways, and then also reaped the benefits in others. This is 'her' time to learn, and live what she needs to live and learn and if we 'help' out, sometimes the lesson is washed over some............ so, with that, i'd say just like the others, give her ears and arms, and let her do the figuring, and if so inclined, "give it to God"

 

[Clermont]

But you're just a great group of friends!!!!!

One of my main goals of motherhood, was to successfully raise my daughters to be strong, independent females.

Teach them that they can live with a man, BUT also live without one
