My friend (mom of 3) is getting divorced and I am worried about how she is handling the situation with her kids. As of now, her ex sees the kids Mon eves, Wed eves and Friday eve-Sat morn. He's living @ a friend's house so he has visitation at my friend's home. (She leaves and returns home when he is supposed to go.)Sometimes she lets him spend Mon or Wed night (on the couch). Also, he's having knee surgery next month and is moving back into her home for a while so he can recuperate from his surgery. I think this is a bad situation for the kids. Confusing them, sending wrong messages, etc. She thinks it's not going to harm them for life so-no big deal. When I voiced my concern, she got offended and said to stop trying to control her. I want what's best for her and the kids and allowing her ex to use her is a bad example for the kids. What can I tell her to let her know the kids can't handle the inconsistency with dad coming back then leaving again? Her kids are 6, 4 and 1.
