Helping a Friend or Family Member Through Divorce | |||||||||||||
A marital separation is a time of turmoil for everyone involved. Regardless of the length of marriage, who left whom, whether or not there are children or how old they are, the separation signifies a rupture in the marital relationship. The family unit can never be the same. It is a time when those going through it need the support of friends and family. Here are a few tips, excerpted from our free pamphlet: *Don't try to figure out who is the "Good Guy" and who is the "Bad Guy." *Express your concern, just as you would about any other life event. *Call or write periodically. *Continue to include the person in social gatherings, but don't invite both partners to the same event. *Give a hug. *Offer to go with the person to an attorney. *Listen. Listen. Listen some more. The full pamphlet is available free upon request and in quantity. |
