My poor DD has had such an awful time, but none of her friends know.
She had some significant medical issues which have plagued her for the last year. She is doing better now, but not quite out of the woods. DD chose to keep this quiet from her school friends, and we respected this decision. She is glad she made this choice.
For these reasons, she had to give up a number of her hobbies, but that was really the least of our worries, and she still isn’t quite at the stage of being able to pick them back up, but we’re hoping that days not too far away.
Anyway, since joining secondary school, she has stopped being invited to her friends parties. She kept telling me she didn’t mind and “you can’t invite everyone”, but the latest one has really hurt her. She is literally the only one not invited. I know why! They have all bonded that little bit more during their extra curricular activities, and she is sidelined a little. I get it! Also, I’m not at these activities, which the parents still take them to, so I’m out of the fold.
She’s so sad! She’s just broken hearted, and I feel so useless as I can’t magic it better for her. And after all she’s been through! 😢
I asked her if there’s one place she would like to go whilst her friends are all having this party. She said center parcs. It’s her favourite place on earth, but sadly not financially possible right now. I don’t know how to make her feel better.
Looking for some guidance from some more experienced mums. Thanks.
