[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not know specifics. But with most things that fall into the category of "not being accepted by everyone." I think the best advice is to continue to treat them like normal. Maybe go out of your way to ask how they are doing. But I think just letting them know that you still feel the same way about them - is very important.[/quote] +1 and as another pp said, just roll with it - some days the family will be fine with it, other days may be hard. When/if they're confiding in you about something hard, you need only say something like "I'm so sorry to hear that happened; x is such a great kid!" "I'm sure it is hard, let me know if there is anything we can do. You know we love x and support you all 100%." You are obviously a caring person and a good friend to this family. You're doing all the right things. Don't overthink it. This is the solution/resolution to a lot of stuff for them, too. It's not all bad! Good luck![/quote]
