[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it.  You see someone hurting and you want to help.

I totally understand the people saying it's not your business because it's really not.  And it would be weird to try to insert yourself because you feel like *you* want to do something.

However, I just want to offer my story of a similar situation from a while back.

In this case, it was a neighbor, and the kids played together but the parents didn't hang out.

I ran into her at one point and she told me about the divorce.  A few days later I just texted and said something like "Hey, good to see you on Monday.  Sounds like a lot is going on right now.  LMK if you ever want to go grab a drink"

And she replied right away and we went for a drink and we're close friends now.

I think sometimes we assume that people have networks and friend groups, but if you watch DCUM you'll see a lot of people who don't.  They don't have their pre-kid friends anymore and have struggled to make "mom" friends.

I would not involve the kids though.  I don't think a play date or a casserole will help, you know?  [/quote]
