[quote=Anonymous]OP, you don't have to go into public with her.  You can have her come over to your house.

On a much smaller scale, I had a friend (really, just an aquaintence, but I liked her) whose son was in the same high school grade as my daughter.  He was kicked out of school (for arguing with his best friend and his language was overheard--in short, nothing like this)

Anyways it's a gossipy school.  I wanted to get together with the mom, but interestingly, she didn't want to be seen in a public place, she was so shamed. And also, she wanted a private place to talk. I invited her over.

I was shocked when she came over with flowers for me.  She said her (school-mom) friends had shunned her.  She was so grateful to have me to talk to, and to have her over.  She was so isolated and hurting.

Anyways, I'd do that, OP.  Give her your friendship. But also, you can keep boundaries and if she strays into "he's innocent" or excusing his behavior, you can tell her no, you're not entertaining that line of talk.

Also OP as a friend you can help her get a therapist.

I'll go back and read the replies, but if you haven't told us yet if she has other children, let us know.  I'm asking because if this is her only child, then all her eggs are in one basket and she may either go into deep denial, or NOT go into denial and get suicidal.[/quote]
