[quote=Anonymous]I'm another who had this happen to a daughter; it really affected her mental health for a few years. It says something that someone apologized, though -- maybe for self-serving reasons, who really knows? I agree with others that it's best to listen to what your daughter has to say. Pretend you're a therapist -- questions and understanding, but try your best not to offer advice unless she asks. And then maybe couch it in "Hmm, have you though of..." terms vs. "You should..." It's fine for her to accept the apology and still not pursue the friendship; it's difficult to forget when a friend breaks your trust like that. You're always waiting for other other shoe to drop.[/quote]
