Post-Breakup Mistake?
When I broke up with my boyfriend for cheating on me, I gave away a 40$ necklace he gave me to my best friend. She was so mad at what he did, she broke it into a ton of little pieces.
Now my mom wants me to give the necklace back to him (she doesn't know my friend broke it) but I don't know what to do! I don't want to tell her my friend broke it, but I have no clue what to do now!

just tell her what happened.you cant giet in trouble because he gave it to you. and once its been given you have the free power to do whatever you want with it. its not like you were buying it from him or he made a contract that it was only temporary. your mom might be disapointed but does she know he cheated on you. tell her everything so shell stop bothering you about it.as for him he should of thought about it before he gave it to you aand then cheated on you.hes at fault.

Tell your mom that you gave the necklace to your friend, but leave out the part where she broke it. Or, just say you lost it & don't know where it is. Besides, I don't know why she would want you to give it back if it's considerably YOUR'S.

What you do about this depends on the circumstances under which he gave you the necklace.
If he gave it to you while you were dating and before you caught him and broke up, then it was a gift to you which you can do with as you please. You are not obligated to give it back, no matter what your mother says. Frankly, it's none of her business. Tell her you gave it to a friend and have no intention of asking for it back. You might ask your mom why she thinks you owe it to him. Should you also pay him back for all the times you went out to eat, or reimburse him for gasoline for times he gave you rides? He gave you a gift, then you broke up with him for a very good reason - you don't owe him anything for that.
On the other hand, if he gave it to you AFTER you broke it off with him, then you shouldn't have even accepted it. In that case, since you can't give it back, you would need to pay him the value of it.

Why does your mom want you to give it back?
Tell her that it's no longer in your position and you gave it to your best friend. IF she wants more explantaion, tell her but otherwise, leave out the whole "she broke it" part.

Honesty is the best policy [it really is]...
You need to be honest with your mom and tell her that your friend broke it, and tell her it was an accident.. which I think it was, from what you wrote.. or was it on purpose?
Whichever, you need to be honest with your mom, she deserves at least that from you.
Hope I helped!
Good Luck!
