[quote=Anonymous]It's always hard to realize that a relationship is one-sided, whether it's a friendship or a romantic relationship.

Your daughter just got a clear signal, which might actually be easier than the gradual, painful alternative. If the friend hasn't been equally supportive and available, it might have taken a long time for her to realize that she was putting far more in than she was getting out.

Help her find a positive way to move on, and she'll be able to do it on her own, and sooner, the next time she finds herself in a similar position.

But one thing to consider: any chance the friend might have thought she was doing your daughter a favor by not inviting her? Could the "cool" kids be into stuff yours would be uncomfortable with? Or maybe they're not very kind, and might have been mean or rude to her? I'd hope she'd say something ahead of time, but it's not impossible there might be an actual explanation, even a lame one, if DD were to point-blank ask why the girl didn't invite her so-called "bestie."[/quote]
