But, her friendship with this woman is unhealthy. This woman is not a bad person, mind you, but their relationship is like a wierd mother daughter kind of thing accept my girl follows her around like a puppy dog. It's to the point where it's starting to really bother me as well as her parents and her other friends. I don't care that shes friends with her. But my girl treats her like she is Jesus, and she doesnt get half as much back. Yet, she justs kepps on like a lost puppy. There are bigger issues I wont get into, but the bottom line is I think this "friendship" of thiers is messed up. Is there anything I can do?

Hi
How about nothing? My point is she will never see your point so let her find that on her own. It’s good that she has someone like u looking out for her. But what I can tell you is that she loves her friend and she likes spending time with her I am sure many of you have intervened and she saw it as interference because you never approve of this friendship.
The truth is she is not keeping this friendship to spite you or her family she doesn’t see anything wrong with her older friend and maybe she find it amazing that she can bond with such an older person the way she does. just make sure you will be there when she finally realised how stupid she had been in the pursuit of this relationship. Whatever is happening that makes u guys feel sorry for her will eventually open her eyes someday. I have seen this happening all my life and I have been there but it is part of life that’s how we learn isn’t it?
