My friends parents want a divorce how can my friend stop her parents??

Answer 1

Watch Parent Trap - I recommend the earlier version with Halley Mills, not Lindsey Lohan. Lots of nifty tips! Helps if she is a twin.

Answer 2

Your friend needs to accept that her parents may be better off divorced and possibly single or dating others. Your friend may only be thinking from his/her point of view. Your friend needs to allow him/her self to see the parents as people (not parents). Just because they get a divorce does not mean your friend cannot have a healthy relationship with both parents. Acceptance of others choices whether it makes you comfortable or not will help in all situations. your friend may be grieving over this and freaking out, and seriously could do with some counselling. Your friend needs to find some understanding and realise it may be the best solution for the parents and life can improve with change. Your friend may need to consider supporting parents choice and decision and be loving regardless of the pain your friend is feeling about this. Good luck to your friend through this change take care x o

Answer 3

She can't. Would she rather see both of her parents miserable? Sometimes when parents make the choice, it's because there is no way of saving what they had. They will be miserable and she will be even more miserable. Sometimes it's for the better, but she won't know it right away. It takes time.

She can voice her feelings to her parents and ask them why, then be understanding of both their thoughts and feelings.

Answer 4

This is way beyond her control. She is going to have to roll with the punches and see which parent she is going to live with.Your friend didn't cause the divorce, they just stopped loving each other, but not her.

Answer 5

Unfortunately, there are'nt alot of things she can do. Adults do not listen to the kids and they are only thinking of the problems they ahve and many times are not thinking about the problems they are causing their children.

The best thing for her to do is to talk to them and tell them that it will break her heart and she is very unhappy with them that they are divorcing andletting her down. She needs them to be parents and make a home for her. I wish her luck!

Answer 6

It is a normal reaction to her parents divorce. I think you should tell one of her parents and suggest therapy to them. She is going through an emotional/stressful time and that is why she isn't eating.

Answer 7

She is in the hardest place right now and I am sorry she has to go through it. However, she can't really do anything. Its not her fault and only her parents can prevent what will be the outcome. The sad part is she will hurt the most out of all of it.

Answer 8

There is nothing your friend can do to stop them because she is not the cause for their disagreements. She can treat both of her parents as she normally would and try to get along with each of them, remembering not to allow herself to be used as a "go-between" or "message carrier" for either one of them. Above all else, she must not blame herself for the impending divorce.

Answer 9

Only God should part anyone's parents... See 1st Corinthians 7:10, 11: "... a wife is not to depart from her husband... a husband is not to divorce his wife..."

Answer 10

there is nothing really that your friend can do cause what happens is what happen and when it comes to relationships and love sometimes people just fall out of it just like they fall into it and that is a reality no matter how much we don't want to face it. just make sure you make it known to your friend that you are there for her during such a ruff time and do your best o comfort her. i hoped i helped and sorry for your friend:)
