My daughter spending time with friends and boyfriends
My daughter was dating a guy & had 2 best friends (sisters). The bf wanted to spend time with her as well as the friends. They tried hanging out together but the friends & bf didn't like each other. It became very stressful for her to manage her time with each group. Every time she turned around someone was mad because they felt like she was ditching them. All of the relations ended when the bf cheated with 1 of the friends.
She now has a new good friend & a new bf. She hangs with the bf about 3 times a week & usually for a few hours. Her friends is now mad cuz she feels replaced. Although in the last week my daughter has asked her to hangout 3 times but was turned down. Now the new friend is suddenly friendly with the ex-friends. Which is very hurtful considering she know what they did to her. Is this normal? I just don't get it. I don't know how to help her. She has been very hurt.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I wouldn't necessarily call her situation normal as teenagers can be unpredictable. The new friend probably feels neglected. Although, she has every right to be "friendly" with anybody she wants to. Your daughter needs to talk this friend and work things out. Also, make sure you daughter knows that you are there for her and that you support her. Teenage girls need mothers there for the shoulder to cry on and the ears to listen when they vent. So basically just be a good listener and try to be positive around her. I hope this helped :)
