lipslocked 3,780 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 There isn't specifically a way to stop them from separating, honestly speaking. The best thing is to respect their decision & not intrude. Such things are personal & private and I'm pretty sure they would wish to work it out (quietly) by themselves and try to make their children happy at the same time. I don't have the experience either but I do hear from friends about their parents getting a divorce and yeah, there isn't always a happy ending in a relationship so for the time being, your friend would just need to take care of her siblings.

DeusExMachina 332 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well I'm afraid she can't do anything about it. If her parents doesn't want to be together, you can't force them to be. They'll just become unhappy. I guess she just have to take care of her younger siblings and also make sure they get support from their parents...especially financially. Though I feel bad for the young ones. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella D'Amour 9,589 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Dear it doesnt matter if you dont have any experience, Just try understand her situation, Let her know you’re there for her if she need someone to talk to. She may feel lonely, especially if her parents are distracted with handling the divorce. Your friend probably needs someone to listen about what’s upsetting them. Especially if she feel she can’t talk to their parents about it.And also Remind her it won’t change your friendship and you’ll be there to help her It's more important to be a good listener. Sometimes you just "be" with someone. It's great that your friend has such a good friend.out. So i hope you can do that... Fighting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarShapedGummy 11,380 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Wow im just putting this all in perpspective....around 25 years of marriage....assuming they got married close to the birth of your friend....and still having children.... eh....doesnt seem right... i would tell your friend to seek help with a family psychiatrist. I dint see how relationships can just end at 25 years unless its a big issue. Also tell her to tell them that all relationships will have their ups and downs no matter how long uve been together. Tell her to tell them that this might just be one of those down times and to look for a more positive solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaniPi 2,626 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I don't really understand what the situation is surrounding the divorce, but the children always suffer the most. From her perspective, I guess she could sit down with them and tell them how she feels. Maybe they could stay as "friends" and still live together at least until her siblings are older, if they can't resolve their differences. As a friend, all you can do is offer your support and if she wants to talk with you about anything, you're there for her. If you wanted, maybe let her stay over yours for a while.

Lil 139 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I think you should tell her to focus on her younger siblings. It's time to mature up even though its hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
