[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a weird thread. There is a ton of middle ground between "so you getting divorced" at pick up line and inviting both couples for years while thinking they were a couple the whole time. I do not find pretending to be helpful anytime to anyone. I have had some close friends go through divorce and I offered support from the beginning. Some acquaintances (Kids friends) have also divorced, and I hope a sincere "how are things" helped. I do not need to know details but I know not everyone has people to talk to and I would rather open that door than pretend everything in hunky dory[/quote]

I feel like many divorced people just shut people out. Maybe they don’t want to talk about it and avoid others. On multiple occasions, the parents don’t respond at all for YEARS. This has happened many times. A few kids from preschool whose kids were friends with my kids just disappeared and then we see them years later and they act like we are friends. Remember the emails, invitations and texts you ignored for years? One specific parent had a kid whose son was a very good friend of mine. One day they don’t show up for our birthday party and then ignore us after being fairly good friends. Two years later, our kids attend the same elementary and she acts like we are close friends. She has a new boyfriend, not her former husband and says how we need to hang out. I’m thinking we haven’t talked in years.

I have another friend who I considered a close friend. Our families would sign up for camps and sports together, carpooled, traveled, etc. our kids were best friends for 5 years. She just dropped us. The son told my son his parents got divorced. I have not seen them since Covid.[/quote]
