Dear Amy: I have been divorced for two years. I frequently see my two young daughters, and remain on decent terms with my ex.
There was no side to take, as I believe our divorce was our business and not theirs. Some have simply said nothing, and others have intimated that they are surprised by our marriage failure and do not want to be around the person who caused the failure — which of course is a classic “he said, she said.”In an angry moment, I unfollowed all of these people on social media, but now I miss keeping up with their families and lives, even through a screen.
Given those details, plus the fact that you abruptly broke off contact with all of these people, you are behaving like a protagonist who is now reckoning with the consequences of the choices he has made.Friends do choose sides, and while that seems cowardly, they often choose to identify with the parent who has the kids and the house, especially if they also have children and there is a strong social history between the families.
I have saved up a considerable amount of money to give to him, but am now wondering if I should even send it.Now I’m thinking that I would rather use the money on expenses I have, but I know this will sever a very thread-bare relationship I have with my brother.My brother already knows the amount I have saved, so if I send less, he will probably call me out on it.
If this money from you is the thread your relationship has been dangling on, then I think you should snip it off.Enjoy your liberation. I hope you treat yourself to something nice.
