[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s say the other moms didn’t like Ashley: their options were to pretend to like her or to break up with her.

I think it’s less mean to break up with her.

Ashley should find good friends who like her.[/quote]

But apparently they did the mean third option: pretend to like her to her face, even attending events she hosted and telling her that if she was included in certain activities it was an accidental oversight, while secretly disliking her and talking shit about her behind her back.

Agree she should find friends who like her, but having been through this myself, it's a real mind***k when you get out of a friendship with people who were fake nice to you while being nasty behind your back, and it makes you feel really unsure of yourself entering into other friendships because you are often thinking "well is this real though? is this person being nice to me because they like me or just because it's easier than being direct with me? can I trust them and share personal things with them or will they use that against me and gossip about me with other women when I'm not around."

This is why mean girls suck. The damage they cause is not confined to the relationships they poison with their bad behavior. It lives on.[/quote]

It sounds like they were nice to her to her face but didn’t include her in their activities. If that doesn’t scream that they didn’t want to include her, I don’t know what does.

She should’ve moved on. It’s what I tell my kids to do when someone isn’t brave enough to break up with them in exactly the right way.[/quote][/quote]
