ok so like i have this really great friend and ive been her BFF since 2nd grade. I would do anything for her. But i just found out that shes moving. Because her parents are getting a divorce. Shes moving all the way across the country and her mom is telling her that she can visit once every 2 weeks and that im going to go fly to visit her. and then her mom has been going and telling my mom that its all a lie just to make my friend feel better. and it really hurts watching my BFF get soooooo happy over something thats never gonna happen. im wondering if i should tell her whats going on? any advice???

Im really sorry to hear that my friend moved away when I was really young about 7 its so hard and this probably isnt what you want to hear but it does get easier and you move on and make new friends (doesnt mean youl ever forget your best friend)
what her mom did is very unfair.
she may have just been trying to cheer your friend up and keep her happy for the momment but thats just setting her hopes up and then letting her down its not right,she shouldnt just say things like that without the intention to follow through, its gonna make it worse on your friend now and possibly cuase a fight between them both.
parents do that all the time though lie to us to keep us happy she probably didnt realise the effect that it would have.
I think she deserves to know so she can confront her mom and ask her why she did it?
I don't see why you two can't stay in touch and visit anyway?,maybe not every two weeks but once a month or something maybe?
I mean its not too much to ask get your moms to sit down and talk about it with you two and just be honest about whats going to happen and the situation.
its always better to just know the truth that way you will be able to just accept it.
hope I helped In any way,sorry again to hear
Much <3

That could cause problems. Try telling your mom or her mom that you know she is going to be very hurt, and she'd probably rather know the truth than be lied to like a fool.
