Friend of 44 years is getting divorced after 23 years. One young child.
She is heartbroken and I don't know how to help. She can't see a way forward. Doctor has prescribed medication as she is so low. Ex is now saying DC needs to go with him as she isn't fit to look after their son. I agree with this at the minute and she doesn't seem bothered about this happening.
How can I help? Could she lose custody of her son?

Tread very carefully if you value the friendship. Especially when you're supporting her ex in taking their child with him.

I am not supporting her ex. I am just saying on here that I agree she doesn't seem capable of looking after the child with the state she is in.
