[quote=Anonymous]I agree with your husband. I speak as someone who’s mother was ill when I was 13-18 and then passed away. You are doing the girl no favors by letting her anger about losing her dad turn her into a vicious mean girl. She needs therapy and a safe place to grieve over what ALS is doing to her dad and her family. But she also needs boundaries around her behavior and proper expectations around her use of social media. This is not okay and she needs to know that. What you can do is continue to help the family and forgive the girl when she comes to her senses. What you shouldn’t do is ignore this or pretend it didn’t happen. Tell the mother, with all the compassion you can muster and let her know that you are sharing this because you think she should know, but that you understand the girl is having a hard time and that’s most likely where this is coming from. But also that it’s not okay. [/quote]
