Hello Lulu, people, we knew as friends can change for whatever reason they aspire to and it may happen by saying one word the incorrect way as your friend took it, but a true friend may question the reason why you said it and just like them, you are entitled to say how you feel and if they don't accept it, then you have to wonder whether the last 7 years have been in all honesty.
Surely two friends can make opposite remarks and still be friends, just as the two of you can have an argument but remain friends, but as soon as one of you starts picking on the other, then you need to question your friendship and it could go quiet for a while but then resume, that's if you want this.
Seeing her at school every day, you probably won't be told anything and wants to let it rest and your children can still play at school time but not after school, they will find other friends to play with after school.
The more you worry about what may have happened is only going to take you to negative thoughts, these will only cause harm and friction to yourself, what you don't know, the better it will be for you to move on.
Drop your kids off at another gate or change the time you do because none of this could be any fault of yours.
Best wishes.
Geoff.
