[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - I can’t believe no one said this but it sounds like the kid and your dd drifted apart before the party. The reason for it stinks (she’s going after the popular crowd) but I bet if you looked for it, you’d find lots of examples in the weeks before the party:  didn’t respond to texts, responded but not wordy, didn’t communicate as often, didn’t call, calls but they were short, didn’t ask to get together.

The birthday girl may have been limited with whom she could invite and she asked her newer friends. It stinks but it may or may not be the end of the friendship. Your dd should be guarded with this gal and look for LOTS of different friends. You’re hearing all this from your dd’s Perspective obviously but there may be two sides. Maybe your dd was clingy. Maybe these other girls are really nice. Maybe something happened with the girls and your dd doesn’t even know the friend felt slighted.

 Op here . Sorry I thought “texting and communication were prolific” covered it.  Maybe the guest list was limited but I know from other parents in the grade it was  a big party.  They were hanging out at school  and after school the same as always the two weeks leading up to party. There may have been signs but I (and dd) can’t see them even with hindsight. 
DD has lots of friends . I said it elsewhere she gets along with most everyone. She doesn’t have other friends that she considers a best friend. And I know that who your best friend is changes too. It’s just a rotten way to find out one of the people you were closest to doesn’t feel the same about you, or doesn’t care about how you might feel.

I don’t wish evil on the kid. I just feel bad for my kid, who has to rethink a relationship she thought was  great and reciprocal.

op here... texting and communication leading up to party was as prolific as ever...We will see how it is this week after the party. But I would bet money bg acts like its just another day.

You ignored everything else in the post.  You’re looking to find a problem instead of looking to see that there may be another side to this. [/quote][/quote]
