The real reason she was so contentious last night was J. She misses him a lot.They were very close and, even with his problems, she loved him. She is now cuddled under the blanket she made him (that he gave back) and the pictures of them that she has. She no longer even wants to go out. She is just crying like her heart is going to break. I tried to talk to her, but she won't talk.
It is so hard to be helpless. I wish I was one of those mothers who could just tell myself it will all be better one day. I wish I didn't feel my children's emotions as they go through things. I think it would be different if Jumper was boy crazy. Girls like that are always in angst over some guy. But this was Jumpers one and only so far and she has no interest in anyone else. She does not get over boys quickly (as my other daughter Julie did...here today/gone tomorrow). Jumper is crying very softly like she really didn't want anybody to know she was feeling so bad.
Maybe I'll tell my hub to buy her some ice cream. That's what we do when she's sad.
