When my DD started school 2 years ago I made, and became close to, 3 other women with children in DD's year. We all live near each other and have had many nights out, lots of coffee afternoons after school and spent a lot of time together.
In the past couple of weeks, they've all more or less stopped speaking to me. One in particular, that I was closest to, seems to be the "ringleader". We were always commenting on each others' FB statuses and photos and texting a lot. She has stopped commenting on my FB and is replying like a loon to any mutual friends statuses when she didn't used to do that particularly, very gushing posts, and ignoring anything I put on. All 3 are writing on each others' walls "Thank you for being such a fantastic friend" and that sort of thing. It comes up on my newsfeed page.
I thought maybe I was being a bit oversensitive, but last week one morning I saw them all walking home from the school run, so I walked up to them and said hello and they could all barely bring themselves to speak to me. We got to my house and I went inside and barely got a goodbye from them. When I went out half an hour later in the car I saw them a few houses up from me standing together chatting and laughing. I then sent each of them a text saying "Have I done anything to upset you?" and from each I got a "No of course not Hunny" type reply. Several days later I saw one of the mums walking home from school and again I said hello and her daughter said "Lets go mummy, we don't like her"
Clearly there is something going on; I can't think of anything I've done wrong. I've often done favours for each of them and think I've been a good friend. I guess they just haven't ever outgrown the playground. I feel upset though as they were my friends and although I know other mums at the school I feel a bit lost. I feel like I've been a bad judge of character and am upset at having to start from scratch now everyone else already has their friend groups.

To be upset at the way these "friends" have treated me.
