OK-To be ENTIRELY candid, I am really seeking empathy and tut-tuts from the Disney masses. Hopefully, I can adequately explain the situation and be as fair and objective as possible. My best friend and I have been friends for about 25 years. She has an adult daughter, 27, who is a bit of an introvert who is also prone to anxiety and depression, but is in no way severely disabled by this. She works in a job and has a far amount of responsibility, has friends, etc. They are in a really enmeshed relationship and my friend treats her daughter like she is about ten. She cleans her home, buys all her groceries, buys her clothes, covers all her screw-ups, etc. We were going to a birthday party at Downtown Disney last weekend for her daughter's birthday (we live about an hour and a half away). Her mother sent us a text message a few days before to tell us the party had been cancelled because of the daughter's anxiety. It turns out it had not been cancelled, just the guests had been cancelled. The daughter wanted to have a mother/daughter party instead. This really hurt my feelings, as I was looking forward to it, and it seemed terribly rude.
