As it’s sometimes said, all good things (and some bad things) must come to an end, and divorce is no different. Even if the separation was a long time coming (or if it left your BFF blindsided), everyone can use a little encouragement as they go down the sometimes dark and dreary road towards divorce. Short supportive texts to send to someone getting divorced can show how much you care, offer compassion, a giggle, and even give your gal pal a good laugh as they prepare their parenting plan — or get ready for a courtroom showdown.
