I would not have read my daughter's letter and would not have reacted in that way eitther.I would probably have laughed and realised they were talikng about me snooping. My mother in law was a terrible snnop. When my daughter stayed with her she used to go through her overnight bag, why? I don't know it was just her nature to be nosy. She would ask the kids a question then aske my hubby and me the same one just to see if it was all the same anwers. It made me mad lol!!Anne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-76193809511017003782012-11-04T22:21:09.670-05:002012-11-04T22:21:09.670-05:00I am sorry for your loss.

I know, from my own experience from broken relationships, that the sense of loss and pain in these kinds of situations can be heavy burdens that take a lot of prayer and grace to get through, but God heals and brings good things even after being burned. I pray that you and your daughter and the other girl and her parents will be blessed with His healing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248483093711799736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-23594294559277744892012-11-04T09:23:42.030-05:002012-11-04T09:23:42.030-05:00She learned her lesson and she was safe, most impo...She learned her lesson and she was safe, most important to us. <br /><br />Actually we all learned something with this experience so I guess that's something :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204165708189660644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-5767818663200237712012-11-03T23:24:41.000-04:002012-11-03T23:24:41.000-04:00Your poor daughter!

The moth...This is a sad situation and yet, really? The mother clearly stepped over so many boundaries and her reaction certainly could not have rebuilt any trust that was lost within that family. I know 15 year olds. I know they can be mean. They also can try on different personas, jus to see how that might feel/look. And peer connections mean the world to them. YOur daughter may have simply been supportive to her friend, clearly never intending for anyone else to see the letter. And, really? bitch? come on - that's not a respectful term and all that stuff but it didn't call for dissolving a friendship. I wonder if there was something else that the mother was afraid of? or jealous about? Interesting situation. Good for you to honor privacy - I tell parents they have to know that their children are safe but they don't have to snoop unless they have a specific reason to be doing that -- One caveat - FaceBook - what problems that causes among kids! I would rather not see kids under high school age having FB pages - and I would still want my child (as a 15 year old) to show me her page and the page of any friend I want to see. FB can be brutal.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-51348611547037095502012-11-01T20:09:12.395-04:002012-11-01T20:09:12.395-04:00Funny what comes out of the mouths of babes huh!

Kids, especially teens, need to be able to express their torrent of emotions without fear. I guess your daughter learned a valuable lesson about name-calling in writing - don't do it. And sounds like you are better off without those so-called friends.

She, daughter, realized she had done a wrong thing by calling the mom that name and wanted to make amends for it and he shut the door on that and of course I'm sure the friendship as well. Very sad. <br /><br />I've tried not to snooop over the years; I've had some legitimate reasons perhaps to snoop. I tried to communicate with them and keep lines of communication open but with my daughter's severe depression and suicidal thoughts at times, I had to sort of snooop behind the scenes to see if I could divert anything she might be planning to harm herself. <br /><br />I hope your day was a good one<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358549399838555786.post-52364637595205261622012-10-31T20:29:04.012-04:002012-10-31T20:29:04.012-04:00The really sad part was that it happened after yea...The really sad part was that it happened after years of friendship.

With friends like that, who needs enemies but I felt very bad that your daughter got mixed up in that!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841767868797265391noreply@blogger.com
