[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All happened over the summer.  Nobody ever knows what’s going on in someone else’s marriage, but she’s posting this stuff all over Facebook. Where her two kids can see everything.  Is there any tactful way for me to approach her about not sucking her kids into this drama just yet? It’s bad enough for them that she up and moved out, leaving them with their father.   It’s as if she completely lost her mind...[/quote]

Do you actually spend time with her in person, or are you just seeing stuff on Facebook?

If she is actually an in-person friend and you are legitimately concerned about her mental health, you could reach out to her with support. Like, "Jane, I've seen on Facebook that there's been a lot going on in your life lately. Are you okay? This all seems very unlike you. I'm here to talk if you need an ear."

If she is just someone you see on FB and don't actually interact with and your concern is that her children will see a side of her that you don't think is appropriate, let her be. [/quote]

I’m a real life friend but not a super close friend.  I see her about once a month.   One of her kids is friends with mine.  I do not care about the marriagefailing. That is between two adults. I do care about the kids who can see Facebook pics that are not very appropriate.  Like the two of them in bed but nothing showing.  The kids may not understand what’s going on. But what if they do?  I was more interested in somehow just getting her to change her privacy settings on Facebook so her kids don’t see.

Of course, I don’t know what she’s saying or showing her kids in real life. Maybe it mirrors her Facebook posts.  Her one child has mentioned none of this to my child...[/quote]

How old are these kids? If they’re old enough for Facebook, they’re presumably old enough to understand. I’m hoping your 8 year olds aren’t on Facebook.

Anyway, I’d mind your own business. You’re not going to get through to her and this sounds like one of these things where you do secretly want to judge but claim it’s “for the kids.” [/quote]
