I too waited until my youngest child left home for college and filed divorce. However, all my children told me I should have done it long long ago and they would be okay with it.
No one can guaranty that all children will grow up without problems in a simple parent family. I believed that kids will be better off with mom's around. At least, I provided them a peaceful and warm home.
Feeling hurt is inevitable when going through divorce. When my ex demanded his freedom, space, and secrets, I absolutely believed it's time to let go. In fact, I found my wonderful hubby who treats me like a queen. Meantime, my ex also married his mistress and has a 2 year old girl at 60s. May God bless him and his family.
Wish your friend a satisfied result!
