[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in your daughter's shoes.  Honestly one of the best things my mom did was NOT go about it the adult way.  She basically called her a bitch (didn't use the actual word), a status climber, etc.   It really helped to just have her say what I was thinking but couldn't say.  Then my mom helped me realize that this friend was a user and selfish.   She used me for things like your daughter did for this friend, and the second she got a chance to move up the social ladder, she no longer needed me.

So yeah, I say don't go the sugar coating "it will all be ok " route.  Just confirm with her that her former friend sucks. [/quote]

Alll of this. And then curl up on the sofa for a marathon viewing of 13 Going on 30...and comment on how the former friend was trying to be the 7th Six Chick. And sure, she might get her way. But life is oh-so-much better in the end for girls who are kind and realize sooner rather than later what true friends are.

And then maybe watch Mean Girls for good measure.

OP's DD's former friend is the girl who buys army pants and flip flops because she saw Cady buying army pants and flip flops. It's not a good look.[/quote]
