My daughters "former" friends mother has been saying some negative things about me and my daughter to my friends and other people. She calls people she really has no social ties to and reports on my daughters behavior and me victimizing her. We haven't done anything to provoke this behavior. A therapist friend of mine told me that she thinks that this woman is acting this way because she is envious of me and my daughters looks, position & popularity. Sounds a little juvenile to me.
This woman has manipulated situations that has put my daughter in a bad light with people in authority (teachers) and has gone so far as to call my daughters boyfriends mom, whom she doesn't really know and has rarely had a conversation with before this, with tales of my daughter being out with other guys implying that there was something more than being out with a group of friends to it. She takes a little bit of truth and puts a negative spin on it.
The issue is should I confront her or ignore her. I've had run ins with her before and she is a master at twisting things so it's totally my fault. Then she'll tell everyone she can about it and how she was victimized by me. If I ignore her she will keep spreading awful talk about me and my daughter. What to do??
