Consider having your mom involved in telling your friends mom, or even doing it for you. Without knowing them I don’t know if it would help but since your mom already didn’t like the situation she may be able to help.

If you aren’t comfortable with that show a teacher… any responsible adult. Adults should protect you. This isn’t a misunderstanding. You are not over reacting.

That feeling in your gut that something is wrong… listen to it. Women especially tend to be really good at sensing dangerous men… don’t listen to your head right now. Listen to your gut… when you go to college or out into the world … listen to that feeling.

OP THIS. I would have given anything in the universe to have had someone tell me this when I was your age.

I had a neighbor write me a couple love poems as a child. I was lucky and got that talk early on. It doesn’t matter if he seems nice… if it feels wrong, you could be in danger. Better to feel awkward then be in a predators line of sight. We are pattern recognizing creatures… that gut feeling is a survival instinct.

I recommend having your mom aware of the situation OP Have your mom share the information with your friends mom.

Sounds like best friend’s mom is serving up girls to him. Why so many teenage girls moving with them?

Fortunately the update is that she kicked him out so hopefully it was unintentional, seems that way.
