However, over the past month, my friend has unexpectedly canceled our coffee dates with what seem like unusual excuses.

It could be that something is happening in her world that has disrupted her schedule. Tell her you are concerned about her since she has recently canceled your coffee dates. Tell her that you miss her, and your children miss her children. Listen to see what she says. Do your best to get her to reveal whatever is going on. Just know that it could easily be that her life got complicated and something completely separate from you has impacted her routine.

What should I do? Go directly to the school administration and report what you saw. Go into as much detail as you can recall about the incident. Do your best to remain clear and calm as you deliver your version of what you witnessed.

Now he hangs out in his room playing video games. He hardly ever comes out to talk to the family. I worry about him. Some of his behaviors are on the checklist for depression. I cannot get him to go to a therapist or anything. Do you think any of them might be a good influence on him?
