[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, the person who is getting divorced is the one who does the ghosting. This has happened multiple times. They kind of disappear.

My childhood best friend is twice divorced. She kind of spiraled out of control both times. First time she was a wreck. She had a mental breakdown. Second divorce she started blaming others and was just plain awful to everyone. Both times she kind of disappeared and didn’t want to deal with people. We have recently reconnected. I didn’t drop her. I just gave her some space.

We have many friends who were family friends who went through divorce. Every single one of them became silent and stopped socializing for a while..understandably. One friend is going through a divorce now. The husband hangs out with my Dh but she won’t even respond to a happy new year text to me. She used to at least respond to emails and texts but now she just ignores them. If she reaches out after the dust settles, I wouldn’t hold it against her. My son had a good friend who I thought his mom was so rude and flaky. I found out they went through a bad divorce during that time. Later, she became a good friend. I still remember thinking she was so rude and how I wrote her off.[/quote]

Same. My friends who have gotten divorced just dropped off the face of the earth. It hurt. I was supportive too and a good listener. One simply abandoned her 3 children and ran off to another state with a boyfriend. I think she basically just had a breakdown, but her kids were the ones who really struggled. She still messages me every few months and tells me how awesome it is to not be a full time mom. I think we've clearly just grown too far apart to be friends anymore because I can't agree with anything she says or her actions. I'm sure she tells everyone about how I snubbed her when she got divorced. [/quote]
