Myself and a friend had been friends for a number of years with children the same age. There was the usual squabbles growing up between children or so I thought. As my daughter got older it got worse. Name calling, exclusion and cyber bullying where she was added into group chats to be ridiculed. I went to my friend a number of times but nothing changed it got worse if anything.
The last straw happened when my daughter showed me messages where she was called horrific names by a number of girls in a group chat. I went to my friend again and was told it was the pair of them in it. No acknowledgment even though I had the messages. She hasn’t spoken to me since. I did message asking what the issue was as we have mutual friends and I felt it was uncomfortable for everyone but she just said there was no issue.
Months down the line I haven’t heard from these mutual friends either. I know she has twisted the story to suit her narrative and made me and my daughter look the bad ones.
Should I take the high road and say nothing or confront these ‘friends’. I feel they would just do what she is doing and say there is no issue when there clearly is. I feel alienated and made to feel the bad guy when I think I did what any mother in my situation would do.
