Advice for friend and her dp

2 replies

I am worried about my good friend and her dp.

My friend cannot have dcs and they are going down the adoption route. They have had the intial few months of meetings etc and know that it may take a few years-if they are accepted as successful adoptive parents.

They have decided to get married next year.

However friend has confided in me that her dp has become very cold and distant with her in past couple of months and she is worried.

He has said he doesnt know the reason and that he wished there was someone else as that would be easier for him to blame it on-am afraid that rang massive alarm bells for me!

My friend believes that is is the stress and reality of the adoption,plus wedding. She has become a wee bit bridezilla. They have agreed to try and work on things

Any advice on how I can help my friend-she is really good to myself and dcs and I dont like to see her so upset.

Just being there listening and supporting her is the thing to do.

Have to agree with fuzzy I'm afraid, just be as supportive as you can. Listen to what she says and try not to challenge her too much as she may just become defensive and close off.
