[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Close friend's mom reachied out to ask how DD's first week went. Just said something neutral. It was hard not to jump in and let her know what;s been happening, but I figured that would just make everything worse.[/quote]

My main worry about you saying something to Close Friend's mom is that CF's mom might say something to CF (even something mild like "I heard you didn't spend much time with Larla this week, is there anything going on?", and then CF, trying to ingratiate herself with Frenemy, might say something that your DD would find embarrassing.

Now might be the time to be super flexible about picking up school friends to take your DD and her friends to the mall, movies, etc.

Your DD's doing great. You're doing great. [/quote]
I was your DD to an extent when I started high school. A former close/best friend left me for a different crowd. My mom happened to be close friend's with her mom, and is to this day. Had my mom intervened in some way that might have made things awkward for them. I made new friends, and my mom has kept a good friend. Perhaps enourage DD to join a club or sport to get to know some different people. [/quote]
