This is heavy stuff for a kid who is fifteen and never had a boyfriend before. She read me their texts and J. mistakenly thought that she was at a boy's house because she wasn't interested in him anymore. Actually, she was at a marshmellow roast with some friends she has known all of her life. It was at a boy's house, but it was very mixed and they are just friends. When J. sent her that text, she wasn't sure what to do so she didn't answer well and hasn't texted him since because he's at work. She told me she's going to text him tonight and tell him she has no intention of leaving him. However, his parents are making it very hard for her to support him. They barely are allowed to even text one another. He gets home at 9:30 and has to log off of his computer at 10:30 and they took his cell phone away from him. He is very obedient and follows their rules, even though he isn't sure why they treat him "like a baby."
Jumper has never known the feeling of being unwanted. Her father and I have just always loved each other and her and her brother. She doesn't understand why he's always afraid she's going to break up with him. We had a talk about it. I think this is an eye opening experience for Jumper. Her older siblings didn't have it this good...I divorced their father. But Jumper is pretty sheltered. Still...she is only fifteen. She is doing the best she can with this. On Sunday, when J. comes over (if SM doesn't come home and make up some reason why he can't), she decided to go to our beach with him and hang there along with bringing her friend. This will satisfy SM's wish that he is not in her room.
