[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. Ring theory of grief and crisis. Comfort in, dump out. These people are dealing with a dying dad/husband. I am super duper sorry about what your daughter is experiencing - it is awful - but i think the advice of dropping carpool and seeking non-contact ways to help (lawncare etc) is best. You can shield your daughter and support your mom friend. Those of you who think mom is equipped to deal with a mean tween texting situation right now have never been through a life and death situation and are so lucky. [b]She is not going to be receptive to sharing screenshots and helpful parenting tips. It will feel like tattling or self-centeredness/insensitivity by OP — which it’s not, but I’m just telling you how it will land with the mom, who is in true crisis with something so much bigger. [/b]Ask me how i know. 
Again, it’s not fair and not easy and I’m sorry OP. [/quote]

This is completely true. The mom will end up not being able to ask OP for help. The girl is being awful but honestly that is something that should be addressed later. Just keep the girls separated; help in other ways if you can. [/quote]
