[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 630259, member: 17461"] MWM, this is a normal transition for Jumper. With or without a boyfriend, she is going to have to make her way in the world sooner or later. I respect her courage in ending a relationship instead of holding onto it for the wrong reasons. She must have a well developed sense of integrity. Maya Angelou tells a story about a mother who firmly told her daughter (who was going away from home for the first time) to remember she had already been raised. What she meant was that the daughter had been taught right from wrong by people who loved her, and that someone else telling her different, no matter who it was, did not change a wrong thing into a right one. Telling her daughter again to remember that she had already been raised, the mother added that she loved her, and told the daughter she was not alone in the world, and could always come home. I hope that comforts your heart, MWM. We do have to let them try their wings, and it is really scary. We don't want them to be hurt, but that is part of life. As long as Jumper remembers she has already been raised, and remembers too that she always has a home to come back to, I think she will be strong enough, MWM. MWM, you sound like such a cool, sweet mom. Cedar [/QUOTE]
