[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Lots of good feedback which I appreciate. The mom is definitely opposed to the same sex relationship.[b] She said she doesn't want her daughter to "burn in hell for eternity"[/b]. It isn't that the girl can't date; it is that it is another girl. My concerns really are about my daughter losing her best friend. They have been friends for just one year. My DD doesn't make a lot of friends and[b] I worry about what happens when/if the relationship goes south. 
[/b]
My DD also has not said she is gay, but said this "feels different" than any other crush. That isn't my concern, either. I'm not sure how to parent a relationship like this. I want to protect her feelings regardless of it being a boy or girl. But since it is her only real friend, I'm exponentially worried about her feelings.

I also understand that I can't change the mom's beliefs. My goal in talking to her is to salvage their friendship, allowing contact again, and reassuring her as to what the supervision will be if the daughter is allowed to come over. Ultimately it is the mom's decision and I will respect that. But, other than saying no sleepovers and no closed doors, I'm not prepared to treat this like a traditional boy/girl dating situation. She needs to hear that from me and make her decision based on what is best for her daughter. [/quote]

I don't buy this. People really talk like this? OP, where do you live?

Ha ha about the relationship going South....[/quote]

I agree, I call bullshit on that comment too.[/quote]
