My 23 year old daughter has been conversing with my friend's husband on facebook. My friend asked my daughter to remove her as a facebook friend. My friend went overboard and started cussing my daughter out after she had asked her 3 times to do this but instead my daughter removed my friend and left her husband. I blocked my friend from my facebook - she had no right to cuss at my daughter. I have known this friend for over 20 years what do you think?

Karen-
I had a similar situation left unsaid and I beleive these differences you speak of could be at the root of our disconnected intimacy in the friendship. Apparently it is a catch 22. Not saying it caused resentment and fractured the lifelong friendship. Saying it could have had the exact same result. I just don't know.

Hi,im new here.Im having problems with my inlaws.Its really petty but has become full blown into a problem.
I couldnt help but want to give a comment on Karens post(hope thats okay).Hi Karen,ive been in your situation.I believe that your friend truelly likes you.I believe shes expressing her feelings of hurt and insecurity.If she didnt like you she would express her jealousey in a sneeky vindictive way.In my case I remained friendly,kept quiet,but spent less time with the person and her family.Time really has a way of showing you what to do next.In time youll see if they are really worth it or not.

Dear Friendship Court,
My friend and I had a misunderstanding about 2 weeks ago( I apologized that night when I relized she took what I said wrong and have since said sorry a couple of more times). Which then led into a phone call where she was telling me everything that my daughter did or said seem to make her 2 daughters feel bad (my daughter skipped a grade) and she also went on to telling me how her family thinks that we act "Superior" to them. I feel she also was blaming me for her kids not behaving and her always being negative about their behavior. I was in information overload at the moment and didnt really respond to her venting. I guess my questions are now that it has been 2 weeks can I bring up how the conversation made me feel and talk to her about it? Also I am wondering if I am being petty by not really wanting to continue this friendship knowing how she and her family feels about me and my family. She is hoping that we can "be grown up about this and move on" but I am having a hard time. Please tell me what to do I am truly at a lost.

Karen
