Then when you sent harsh words, they quickly turned off to you.
I'd suggest you try not to let this incident between the parents end the long-distance friendship between your daughter and her friend. Just step out of it, and let your daughter keep in touch with theirs.

In my defense, I didn't send or say anything harsh (or honest) until their rude response first. While I do wish I was so gracious to have handed it differently, I did need to let them know my feelings about their detached wording, which was a 180 of what I expected, i am only human and i don't regret my feelings and I had every right to tell them we were hurt by their actions. I did deserve a more respectful response and even offered to fly out ourselves to accompany her her here so the plane trip was not the truthful answer and the sudden distrust of us wad, really odd. This child was st our hour ALOT. We took her camping for a week and another vacation to the White Mountains fir another week. I need to let it go so...
