My friend has been talking to other parents about my sons disability. They both go to the same school and I know it was her cause the other parent who told my husband about it was someone we've never met before.
She asked how my son was with his disability and my husband was completely taken aback. I can't drive so I never do the drop off or pick ups. My friend is the only parent in the entire school who knows about my son's disability. It isn't obvious, it's a hidden disability.
Do I confront this friend and ask them about it? Do I let it blow over my head? I've distanced myself from this friend of mine recently. We also work together and she is avoiding me like the plague. Normally she's chasing my tail and messaging every five minutes.
Does she know that I know? Is she feeling guilty? I feel like she is because she is being unusually quiet at work. She hides in her office and never leaves, then goes home early. Usually she is storming around the place like a little hurricane.
She finally spoke to me a few days ago and she was very timid. I'm half tempted to call her out on it but I know it will cause an all out war.
So what do you think I should do?

Just curious what disability it is when you say hidden. My son has autism and it was fairly obvious that’s what he had. My daughter’s friend also has brittle bone disease however although I was not initially aware until speaking to the mum all the kids are to be gentle ect and she can’t go outside or do pe.
You can mention it to her in a calm way without accusing her and just say that someone came up and spoke to you and you know that you’ve spoken to her about it before but just reiterate that you want to keep it private at the moment and finish by saying that I’m sure you do anyway.

What did she say?
"No I didn't tell her"
Or
"No I didn't tell anyone"
?
Maybe she has told one person who told another person...

Have you considered the school may have told someone
