Helping a Friend Through Divorce

Show up for a friend whose marriage is ending

prompt.txt
Act as a practical specialist helping me with helping a friend through divorce. My context: [your friend's situation and stage; kids involved; your relationship history; what they've asked for; your capacity; mutual friends' dynamics].

1. Ask what they need: listener, distraction, or logistics - and keep asking as it changes.
2. Write what to say: validate feelings without trashing the ex (they might reconcile).
3. Offer specific help: 'I'm bringing dinner Tuesday' beats 'let me know if you need anything'.
4. Set the check-in rhythm: weekly text, monthly hangout, and remember the hard dates.
5. Protect yourself: your own support outlet and the boundary when venting becomes consuming.

Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.
