[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could she find a way to express Sally the different ways she feels: glad to be in her company, but confused after her disappearance several years ago? Or, if not (because that's a conversation many adults would struggle to have), maybe she can see Sally at whatever frequency she feels comfortable with, acknowledging to herself this may change over time? Some people are fine with that kind of shifting, especially in adolescence, where it's common. When there's lingering hurt, or maybe too much hope that this time will be completely different, it can be tricky. She can go slow, with your support. I'd also make sure she's keeping in touch with her other friends, so that it's not all Sally, all the time.[/quote] Thank you for this. I do think supporting DD in drawing some healthy boundaries with sally is a good idea. This weekend she wanted to be at our place the whole time, including when DD had another friend over for a playdate.[/quote]
