[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to do this without alienating your friends, who mean well. Calling it “toxic” is a slap in the face when they’re coming from a good and genuine place. Perhaps they really believe what they’re saying. I guess you could say “I know everything will be okay in the end but right now it’s really f-ing hard. I’m trying to face the hard, cold reality of the situation so I’m prepared to handle it.” But honestly, is it really a detriment to you when they cheer you on? Perhaps you can think about what you need, to ease your stress - maybe a night out at a wine bar or outdoor cafe when your ex has the kids? But I don’t think you can control how they word their support.[/quote]
