[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 501485, member: 84"] It's awful that both you mom's have been placed in the middle of this between the kids. I'd wait a few days to let things calm down and maybe then.....suggest coffee and a truce with your friend, and make some ground rules concerning the difficult children, as in they keep you out of their junk whatever that might happen to be......and you two would have to draw the line when they come to you and tell them you don't want to know about it. Not easy to do, but it is doable. You've got a he said, he said sort of situation here. Yeah, I know he showed you some stuff ect, but her difficult child may have the same sort of stuff who knows? But something is going on that you've NOT been told as a once childhood friend just doesn't come up out of the blue and grab you by the neck and threaten you one night as he passes by. Know what I mean?? A good friend of mine had a daughter that was best friends with Nichole. She'd sleep over, come over all the time. Years this went on. This girl is a difficult child, not in a bad way.......she's socially slow and a bit intellectually slow. Well puberty hit and she was having crushes on every male within a 50 mile radius, problem was she had no clue how to conduct herself properly. She had a major crush with the boy across the street who had a rather bad rep with the girls, as in taking advantage ect. When I caught her all over the boy I called my friend. Next thing I know friend and her husband at the time are bawling me out because I'm supposedly calling her a tramp?? uh no, I'm trying to keep the girl from being raped! Destroyed the friendship. Not because I wanted it to either. I'm still friendly with the mom, but we've never been more than distant since........still very friendly with the girl. You never know how another parent is going to react if they go into protection mode. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
