Q&A: How to help my mother going through divorce?
6 February 2012 5 Responses
Question by bambamxx: My mother is 53 and my father has been awful during this past year while stringing her along before finally calling it quits. I’m 21 and the only child that still lives at home but I don’t spend much time there so she gets very lonely and I feel so guilty. What can I do to help her? She says she’s too old and ugly now and will always be alone, it breaks my heart 
has anyone gone through this at my age?

Whenever you go there bring her back like a bouquet of flowers, and also ALWAYS help out around the house. She’ll realize that your responsible, and only trying to help her
Get her to go to a counsellor, you have no responsibility for her, and she needs to find friends and a life of her own.
Encourage her to look up old friends, some may be in the same position.
DONT pander to her pity party. Be sympathetic but firm.
try eharmony.com , she might find someone special
Same situation here with my parents – I try to encourage my mom and help her to believe that she will not always be alone and there is a man out there that will love her and make her happy. I try to get her out of the house and dress up – be more social – I also have her as my workout partner -going together is encouraging for us both as she will not go alone.
Positive support is all you can really do the rest is on her.
There is a fruit ready to be picked at any season. Remember that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and at 52 an individual, it doesn’t matter if is a men or a woman is very appealing to a lot of people still. So, tell her to call a friend and on occasion go to a nice restaurant having an happy hour cocktail on Friday and she’ll see that sooner or later someone will ask for her phone number.
