I don't have a ton of friends. I have my bf who I've known since college and we talk everyday but she lives a distance away. She is supportive of my DD and her gifted traits. In fact, she was the first to identify her. She, too, has a daughter who is 15 and HG+, so I benefit from her experiences.
My other best friend who lives in this area is no longer a friend. Long story on that one, but it is better to have parted ways. Then I have some acquaintances who I wouldn't call close friends. We have our daughters in common and most of the girls are gifted but none to the level of DD. None of them are offended by her abilities and have been supportive. I, of course, don't make DD the topic at hand either, but through lunches and get togethers they have noticed the differences.
