[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630266, member: 1550"] Everyone, you have no idea how much you helped me get back my grounding. RE, fantastic, comforting post. I don't know for sure that Jumper broke it off. Her ex had to drop something off today and I just asked casually what happened and he shrugged and said, "Just college and all..." May have been a mutual decision or his decision or hers. Either way, this is the beginning of the adult years of her life and she is handling it with maturity. She has gone out with two of her trusted friends and we offered her money to eat and she just said, "I can't eat." She is upset, but she is turning to her peers for support. That's a good thing. I have to remember how annoying it is when 36 calls me to ask me what to do about his girlfriends and it makes me want to tear my hair out of my head because he should be handling it himself. Well, Jumper is doing that. I am worried for her, the way people worry about their difficult children. Will she get depressed and kill herself? Stupid, I know, but it happens. Still, I have to let her make her own way. In two weeks, the two of us are going to see Julie and her baby and then we have her graduation party and then she leaves home and I can only hope she stays true to herself, even without him. She does not want to talk about this with me and I have to respect that boundary. Cedar, another post that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you with all my heart for your kindness and extreme wisdom. You remind me of my new role in her life. Yes, she has a home to come back to, but she can make that decision on her own. Whoever said that maybe her personality will attract people may be right. I hope so anyway. I know she will enjoy being able to play two more years of sports and that always gets her some attention. Thanks again to people who I don't know who, yet, I consider some of my dearest friends. Pam [/QUOTE]
