A BROKEN FRIENDSHIP RESTORED
Theresa’s son had been living with her friend LaTonya since the latter lived in an area less prone to gangs and violence. They came to mediation because their relationship had deteriorated to the point where LaTonya was seeking a stalking/no-contact order against Theresa for allegedly threatening to kill her.
To make matters more complex, both women were deaf and therefore had many mutual friends and connections through the deaf community. Mediation allowed the women the chance to have a meaningful conversation, express their feelings, and reach an understanding that repaired their friendship.
