[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 501577"] I'm so sorry. As best as you can, I think I would either not say a word about the incident to the other mom or really limit discussions. Be honest with her about your relationship with her and how much you value it. Look at what you said : "I think this is always going to be a wedge between me and my friend." You might say to her: "I do not want this to become a wedge between you and I. You are my friend and I greatly value our friendship. Can we put this aside?" PERHAPS, maybe, not sure....in the DISTANT future (if you still think its important), you can tell her that you don't think your son said anything bad about her, but you might want to acknolwedge that it is a small possibility. Generally speaking though, I would let it go. Having a bond with another woman who understands what it is like to have a difficult child is a very powerful thing. Chose your battles. [/QUOTE]
