When family members go through divorce at the same time

My mom and I are both going through divorces at the same time — she's ending a 30-year marriage and I'm ending a 5-year one — and we keep trying to give each other advice but I think we're both just projecting our own stuff onto each other's situations. We need to figure out how to actually support each other instead of using each other as therapy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people in crisis are conflating their separate healing processes and losing the capacity to truly witness each other.
