Question
Telling your friends will come with consequences. There is no doubt that relationships will be affected, but in which way will depend on the people involved. Your choice is a personal one and should be based on your values. If you choose to tell them, you can and should leave out the details. Mentioning that you heard that her daughter was drinking heavily and involved with boys will communicate all they need to know. Your loyalty to your friends may end or dampen the friendship, or it may make it closer than ever. My thoughts are with you.
