Hard afternoon

Two wonderful little girls had to call it quits today. Becca's teacher asked both I and the other parent to stay a moment to speak with her about our girls.
Our girls are enmeshed and bring out the worst in each other.
The teacher set a rule no more friendship at school or recess.
Both of us parents were,I think, relieved, are extending that to a personal level the relationship is over. They have seven more days in class togeather. It appears both children were feeling the stress, reporting it to each parent independently that they were tired of each other. I also was givin reports of this other child physically abuseing my girl .
I had to recant my offer to transport the other child. I do hope she does not have to walk in the heat this summer.
I enrolled my girl into the math class today. I am looking forward to some healthy relationships that will foster strengths in my daughter. I hope this for the other girl too.
My daughter was undone for an hour or so. She is grieving the loss of this school mate friend. yet, it is as if she thought she was supposed to be; because, now the relief she is expressing about getting to have different friends shows strong on her much brighter and relieved countenance.
It was very stressful I think for both us parents and the teacher.
It is so sad that in our culture you have to show great caution when a child shows problems. Both of these little girls need our support and help. Kids so easily manipulate parents and other adults. I offended this other parent by expressing my concern. The price of caring about others.
