A woman who agreed to be the godmother of her best friend’s child is now facing a dilemma after finding out that her friend and sister-in-law have been talking behind her back. The sister-in-law revealed that they didn’t want her to attend their Christmas party and have been gossiping about her since they moved back to town. Feeling lost and betrayed, the woman is unsure how to navigate her role as godmother while dealing with the family drama.
Advice columnist R. Eric Thomas suggests that the woman set an example of healthy friendships and self-care by not immediately jumping back into a close relationship with the sister-in-law. He questions why they would ask someone they gossip about to be the godmother and advises the woman to directly address her friend about her doubts.
Thomas also recommends exploring options for fulfilling her promise to guide the child, such as prayer, even if the relationship with the mother is strained. The woman is encouraged to prioritize her own well-being and boundaries while navigating the complexities of the situation.
