Well this is one I haven't seen before.,,I've posted several times in the past about dd's best friend who we've had various difficulties with using emotional blackmail on dd when she sees other friends etc. Really came to a head today when best friend tells dd that if she doesn't sleepover tonight she will commit suicide! I find this at the same time both worrying, maddening and ridiculous. I have contacted the friend's mum who thanked and said she is speaking to her. How do I help my daughter to support a friend who obviously needs emotional help whilst not allowing her to become entangled in a cycle of emotional blackmail though? And to top it all off somehow I've ended up taking them to the seaside thus afternoon!!!
