Why get upset because somebody has decided to celebrate the future? Yes, a marriage ended. But they can now move forward with somebody
(choose as many as appropriate)
1) who loves them
2) who isn't cheating on them
3) who isn't fiscally irresponsible
4) who isn't emotionally abusing them/children
5) who isn't physically abusing them/children
6) who is right for them.
7) anything they gd want to celebrate.

No one I know or even heard of has had a divorce party.
Just because you hear it on the news doesn't mean it's common. That's why it's newsworthy.

I mean...if someone wants to have a divorce party, fine it's their life-I just did not want to.
I am happy to be divorced, but not happy that I had a divorce-I would have preferred a happy marriage, but since that didn't happen...in the end, no party but my dc and I 'celebrated' by getting an amazing kitten, he is the best cat!!! I'm so glad we went to the adoption event that day.

I mean… IMHO most engagement rings and weddings are tacky too, why would a divorce party be any different???
Fwiw when I get divorced I’ll probably go on a girls trip with friends but I do that anyway and I wouldn’t have anything “divorce-centric” about it, but it would still be an important milestone for me.

As a now happily divorced woman, divorce parties always seemed like a silly/bitter thing to do.

It's unfortunate that we have reached the point that now people are celebrating their divorce
They’re awesome. Divorcee gets drunk and looks for rebound hookup!

No, first society should address total deadweights and delinquent parents from breeding, abandoning, and never parenting their children.

I would highly advise caution in sending any badmouthing cards or similar because my husband's best friend did briefly get back together with his ex wife after the divorce (such a bad idea, but you have to say nothing).
+1. This is supportive.

Divorce is proven to be a social contagion, immature celebratory parties would only worsen it for keeping up with the Jonses crowd. Just like half of the women marry for a day to play princess, they'll divorce needlessly to play queen for the day.

Imagine your kids hearing all about the blow out divorce party. Klassy. Maybe treat them to pictures of the divorce cake and pics of dad with a lampshade drunkenly on his head, hitting the griddy with his middle aged bozo buddies cheering him on? Mom wearing her custom made divorce tee and miniskirt and divorce princess crown. Mom doing jello shots and groping the young waiter who is smiling painfully while her fellow hags make incomprehensible noises that deafen anyone within 50 yards. The hardest of passes.
Yes, and invite some Dancing Bears so the new divorcee and her friends can really get it on.

The current lack of community in some circles is bad enough PP. Throw away the concept of having a real mother and real father raising you would be chaos.
The families with two cohesive functional parents are light years ahead of unstable family situations already. Next up is one functional parent and no dysfunctional one around.

Right now there’s no support at all unless you’re on welfare and keep your HHI below $42k gross reportable.
But supporting unwed temporary “partners?” That would be an unstable $hit$how.
No one wants their mom with a different partner every 5 years and their dad with a different one every few years too.
I’d be all for supporting Single Parents by Choice though. Less legal mess, less inheritance mess, more stable, clear accountability.
