[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put your daughter into a repetitive activity that the other girl is not in (sports, music, dance, scouts). It will give your daughter some space. Ask your daughter to hold off on telling the BFF this until she is at the midway point of the season. Ask your daughter who her other friends are and remind her she needs to work at all of her friendships. [/quote] +1 Keep it simple. We went through this - and the possessive friend manipulated everything, including friendships. Fast forward a few years, and the friendships had fizzled out, and DD made friends more like her (DD). I was more relieved than anyone. I wanted DD to make her own choices, and it worked itself out. The other girl has not changed, and tends to (of course) gravitate toward manipulative people. Good riddance! [/quote]
