[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the soon to be ex husband knows how much pain he is putting his family through. [/quote]

You don’t know what had happened. You don’t even know these people. [/quote]

Actually the wife was pretty clear. I won’t write details on here.

Yes, we are not close friends. I have seen them around school, have had them over to my house a few times. We went to their birthday party. They came to ours. The mom stands with me at school events and other people’s parties.  The kid likes me and my child a lot, always excited to see us and acts like we are close.

Is she someone I went to high school or college with close long friends? No.[/quote]

You only have one side and you don’t know her well. You are involving yourself as if you are intimately in their life. [/quote]

I’m not involving myself at all. I just saw them today at school and felt bad for them. If it were not for their situation, I would not reach out. I have 3 kids and fall sports are starting. We are busy.[/quote]

You’re asking if you should involve yourself and you claimed to know it all because the “wife was clear.”  Your words. [/quote]

Yes, when she told me last spring, she shared many details.

If you saw them today, it would be hard to ignore. They all looked so sad and devastated.

If my child ever looks that sad, I hope teachers and friends would be kind to her.

I may reach out to mom casually for just a play date. [/quote]

And you weren’t kind to her prior to this?[/quote]

Both my child and I are very friendly. The daughter told me that my daughter was her best friend a few months ago. I have always been nice to the child and her mom.

I have all these school events and 3 kids. My older two children have sports everyday and I’m getting overwhelmed putting their game schedules in my calendar.

If I did not feel sad for the family, I would not be reaching at this moment.[/quote]

You said your daughter is not best friends with her. You also said that you hoped others would be nice if you were in that position. Aren’t you already nice to her? If you acted normal, that wouldn’t be considered nice? It’s only nice, if you get involved?[/quote]

I was in a car watching these kids crying on the curb. They didn’t see me so I was not directly nice to the mom or kid.

I have not emailed, called or texted the mom since the end of last school year. If I do not reach out to her directly to meet, it is unlikely that we would talk at all.[/quote]

NP. 
Red flags. The mom seemingly is unstable and I doubt you know everything. I would be friendly but cautious and not get sucked in. [/quote]
