The Famous "cold Shoulder"

Few things to try:

Try talking to her directly n sort out the issue amicably, preferably without bringing in the friend.

If that doesn't work, maybe then ask friend to mediate. If you still want to.

Or toughen up n learn to not take the ignoring personally

Or you too start ignoring her n let it be a hi-bye relationship

 

Her opinion about you is her choice that came out with her nature and character that she had developed till date. If you do not find any logic in her words then you should not get affected by her. Let her live with her belief system as you cannot change this. Change your belief and accept only the logical statements. You don't need any of her confirmation to prove you right or wrong.

 

@Preeti82

How comfortable are you with her and how much do you need her in your life?

Agreed that she is your friend's mom and she is a part of your social circle; if she really matters, simply approach her, clarify, cajole, and give her a nice hug, tackle her the way you would tackle your mom. She would love the attention and melt.

If not, toughen yourself and gracefully distance yourself. Don't nurture any deep hurt; relationships do break for some known and some unknown reasons. These things do happen. Don't attach too much importance and simply let go.

I have gone through much worse form of back stabbing and betrayal. It hurts but i have learnt to shrug and move on for my own good.

As and when the occasion demands, you may tell your friend so that she will not misunderstand. If she is mature enough she will be able to handle it well.

 

Thank you for asking this here. Recently I have been going through this from someone I care. It hurts. A lot. But have to move on.

Thanks for the other good replies here as well. It helps.

 

I don't think one person ignoring another because of whatever issue can be called bullying unless the two are staying in the same house and this is a regular pattern of behaviour.

Unless this mother of a friend is influencing others to ignore you too,it is not bullying.It is just a case of an individual excercising the right to have a choice on who they interact with.

If she felt bad ,( whether rightfully or not)or whatever,she also has a right to react the way she feels right.

If you care about her ignoring you....then do something about it . Call her up and talk .Visit her with some flowers.
If not....just ignore.
