Q: My parents and my friend's parents are not getting along at this current moment. ..and well ever since 2 weeks ago, the phone calls have stopped...and I guess I miss talking to her..usually, i would call her constantly..like everyday..and like my mom told me to stop to give her some time to herself..well it's been 2 wks..what more time can she have?? I have too much pride to call over now because it's been too long and it'd be awkward..she only calls me if I call her first..so idk what to do because I wanna talk to her..should I give it up and get over myself or wait for her to call or put my pride down? Thanks

I've seen this happen before and it is very frustrating. My lil sister's (now ex)boyfriend's mother almost got my mom arrested. To make a long story short, they're still friends but they don't hang out as much because of the matter.

As for the phone call, just do it, what do you got to lose? Not calling would only guarantee an end to your friendship.

As far as parents go, I would think hanging out with group of friends (with your friend included) would be ok with them, but that really is up to them.
