Random: Irrational Mother

Uggh! A mother called me to tell me my daughter (she's 12) was spreading rumors about her daughter... this mother thought that I told my daughter something personal about her daughter. WELL, I did say something to my daughter about this kid....I told the mom that and apologized. She was/is furious with me, I apologized profusely. Now, after to speaking to my kid, I find out that my daughter had nothing to do with the rumor.

I want to call that mom back and set the story straight, but I know she would be out of control and start screaming at me again.

I am one of those people who consistently try to do the right thing. To be yelled at freaks me out. The fact that I could be responsible REALLY freaks me out. I know I cannot resolve this with this mother, and I cannot get it off my mind.

I thought that by putting it into words here would help my anxiety. Thanks for making this place available.

I guess there's not much you can do about it just try to ignore it and not ***ch back because that will make it worse.
