Ask Amy: Minor home repair leads to major hot mess
My daughter also experienced a painful rejection and bullying from her friend group.
Her mental health suffered. She sought counseling and is successfully getting on with her life, but it changed her.
We were friends with parents of some of the girls involved.
I gently brought it up, and got a very unsatisfying answer.
I realized I don’t want to be associated with those people anymore and have quietly let the friendship go.
I am cordial when I see them, but we don’t socialize with them.
I hope Had Enough can move on, too.
– Moving On
Dear Moving On: The ability to let go and move on is essential self-care.
