[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, back to OP… Just listen if she wants to talk and don’t push if she doesn’t. Personally, I found it irritating as f for people to ask about dating. It felt like they would be more comfortable if I was a couple then a single mom. Maybe that’s just me though. I don’t know how close you are but simple things like “hey I’m doing a Costco run, need anything?” Or offering to help out with random days off from school or drop offs/ pick ups. One of my neighbors was really wonderful about that and we ended up becoming better friends.[/quote] This is good advice. I separated after a 20 year marriage last summer. Call or text weekly just to say hi and ask to do normal stuff like going for a walk or whatever you would have done before, she may or may not want to talk about it. Don’t offer unsolicited advice, just be a friend. Offer to host an upcoming holiday you might have celebrated together before COVID. [/quote]
