[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Yes the kids are under 13. They are older than 8. I’m really not judging the marriage. I’m not religious. I don’t believe in staying in a marriage when you are miserable.

I do care about the kids.  There are better ways to approach separation and divorce in terms of helping your kids get through it in a healthy way. But even if I care about them, maybe there is nothing I can do for them. [/quote]

I think the best thing you can do for the kids is just be there for them, especially the child who is friends with yours. Invite them over with you regularly, provide them with a place of stability and model a good, healthy marriage for them. Lend them an ear if they need one. If their mom is completely wrapped up in this whole affair on Facebook, I can only imagine how she is in person. The father may also be dealing with issues of his own-- such as depression-- with the way is not-even-yet-ex-wife is carrying on, so both parents are probably struggling to provide optimal care for their children right now. Give the children a solid landing place.

If you do get together with this friend, and she mentions this fiasco, I would probably say something about having seen the play-by-play on Facebook. I am a millennial and I really do not get this social media over-sharing that everyone seems to do.[/quote]
