[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s possible your daughter is experiencing a classic icing out/mean girls experience.  I definitely second the recommendation for reading Untangled.

It’s also possible that there is something that has gone on that you are not privy to, and that your friends (the adults) aren’t.  These daughters know that their moms like your daughter and it’s possible they aren’t sharing with the moms what the issue is because of that.  I wouldn’t assume, as some PPs have, that the moms know what the issue is.  They may have noticed their daughters pulling away from yours but not really understand the cause.  For example, if your daughter’s “dramatic” personality (your words, if I recall correctly) is just not working with the group as they age and mature, they may not want to speak badly about your child in front of their parents who as you have said, have traveled with your daughter.

Either way the answer is to help your daughter keep her head high and find new friends.  It’s a painful experience for sure, but transitioning to a new group is the best way for your daughter to move forward in a healthy way.[/quote]
