Tell her to get rid of the man...get rid of the friend and be glad neither one of them is in her life anymore and to move on from here.....Nobody needs people like that in their life....wine

I am sorry that has got to be tough for all concern..all you can do is just be there and listen and lend ur shoulder for her..try to let her 14 year old daughter know that Mom is going through alot of pain and its not her fault...All you can do is just be there whenever she needs you..So sorryhug

i'm so sorry hug she must be devastated, did she have any idea something was going on?

The only thing that will help is time, she will go thro loads of emotions before she comes out the other

side, kinda like a bereavement. I think all you can do is be there when she needs you and listen, be

there for her kids too. hug

I know it's hurtful but when the hurt goes away she will see it was a blessing in disguise...better to see that what she lost as far as an ex and so called friend...was nothing because the kinds of people that would hurt others like that....belong with each other and not with good people....wine

She needs time to take in what is actually after happening to her....I would say she is in shock now.....So give her time to scream and shout but please remind her that her daughter has lost her family life too.....As the child needs her mom at this moment in time......Its hard for all concerned........hug

It won't work yet, far to soon there is a process she has to go thro at her own pace. For me i went thro dis belief, self- blame, hurt, anger, then finally acceptance can't move on until you are ready, it takes time and patience from the people who love her.

well the first thing is she has to get some really booster Vitamins as she is burning gas right now, that did it for me and a flight Solo to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and Taipei Tiewan 3 months I was out there..

best answer I have seen yet!

I would add that maybe give your niece your phone number and tell her to call you any time she needs to talk.
But it is still her father.. don't talk him down to her, she still loves him no matter what,, and she should.
just explain to her how badly people can screw up at times and make bad choices.

Sometimes we cant say exactly what we feel.

Omg.....laugh ....you seem to think that vitamins hold the answer for everything.


I would tell my sister to get a grip and to take matters up with the "man" himself if she needs to settle anything....although at this point I feel she'll be wasting precious emotion.comfort

.Seems like she is at the ANGER stage.

Daughter should know these to.14 y.o. girls are very smart.Much smarter than boys at that age.She can help by understanding for instance .It not here fault.

I think that MAYBE ,,just MAYBE if she/THEY, know what coming .
It will HELP!

Glad to be of use here.



GL cheers
