Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.

Hi Imogen, this is Midge. I wanted to let you know about a change happening in our family. Joel and I have decided to get a divorce. It's a big adjustment, but we want to assure you that both of us are fully committed to supporting Ethan through this time. We're prioritizing open communication and a smooth transition. If Ethan ever mentions anything or seems a little off, please know we're working together and would love your support in keeping things positive for them. Let's chat soon!

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
