If you need help going from there, just drop an email in my inbox, I'll be glad to help you.

Tell her how you feel about her treating Danielle different when shes over. Just make your mom see, i mean it cant be that hard for her becuase she probably went through the same thing. Maybe even (while your talking to your mom) ask her what she was like when she was your age. Talk to her and try to have her open up to you and do the same to her. Just really try to make her under stand that Danielle isn't a bad person.
