“As close as my daughter and Ella are, Mary is now scared of Ella’s mum and is worried that the same thing will happen again if Ella is invited.”
So, a few days ago, when she sent out the invitations for Mary’s 10th birthday party, she did it as privately as possible. She also asked everyone invited to be discreet about the party and simply said she was trying to have a smaller one this year.
However, word eventually got out, and Ella’s mom found out her daughter was the only one not invited to the party.
As predicted, Ella’s mom threw a fit and sent her a very angry message.
“She called me a narcissistic bully and even suggested that the fact her daughter wasn’t invited was racially motivated,” she remembered.
“I messaged back and explained it was because of what happened last year. However, she kept on insisting that it was my fault.”
Then, a few days later, Ella’s mom sent a more sincere message. She said she struggles with mental health issues that make it hard for her to control her emotions sometimes and asked if she and Ella could have a second chance at the upcoming party.
Not wanting to take any chances, she told Ella’s mom no and asked her not to contact her unless it was in case of an emergency.
While she doesn’t want to deal with that mom anymore, she feels bad about excluding Ella and doesn’t know what to do.
Should she invite Ella and take the risk?
