[quote=Anonymous]I was 11 when my parents divorced and although it was definitely for the best, I was embarrassed to tell friends whose parents weren't divorced. I can't remember why I felt like that but I did so I would tell your son that unless this kid brings it up to him, don't mention it. Nor should you. Don't overtly ask him how he or his parents are doing or offer to talk. Just open up your home, invite him over a lot, and make that a place he knows he can go to "get away" from the divorce stuff. Don't coddle him but just, you know, open up your home so he knows he is still welcome and loved there and can just be a regular kid when he comes over not "the kid whose parents are divorcing."
