What would be appropriate to show support & love for niece going thru a divorce? Gift, card???

Question

Her husband mis-lead her and lied to her from the start, she has only been married 8 months and is 19 yrs old.

Answer 1

What is most appropriate is you listening to her. I am going through a divorce and the most valuable thing to me right now is when family and friends are loyal and will listen to me.

Advice giving and material objects won't do here.

Be her shoulder to cry on.

Answer 2

No amount of money or gifts can be a substitute for what she really needs right now, which is emotional support and understanding from her family. Just be there for her and don't make her feel any worse about her situation then she already feels.

Answer 3

A good ear and a trip to the beauty salon together and.or lunch together.  Nothing feels better than a kind ear ans a nice hair do and/or some nails.

Answer 4

I don't know what would move you to buy something. Spend time with her instead, and offer emotional support. If you are insistent on spending money because that's how you are best at expressing yourself, then take her out for a nice haircut or manicure and get one at the same time. I think that would boost her self-esteem more and she'll get to bond with you in the process.

Answer 5

Don't pay someone for poor life choices.   Send her a card saying you are thinking of her.  Be there for her and let her know it.  

Answer 6

Just be there for her, a card is fine.

Answer 7

you! your the gift be a shoulder to cry on, a person to hug etc....

Answer 8

I just appreciated space--and a listening ear WHEN I needed it.

Answer 9

How about a book called "Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives"-- I think she's already done a few of them. It's about the  ten most common mistakes women make, and what they need to do to fix them and avoid them in the future.

- Desperate to have a man, you become a beggar, not a chooser, in the dating ritual

-You don’t know when to break off a no-win relationship, or how to not get involved in the first place.

- Using marriage as a quick fix for low or no self-esteem.

Answer 10

listen to her, take her lunch, hold her, babysit, take her shopping, bu her something then!
