[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630318, member: 17269"] I love Jumper. She sounds strong and sweet. I love that she is handling this in her own way. I love that you are fluttering around her, worrying for her. It is as families (moms and daughters) should be. My easy child daughter, twin to difficult child, decided to stay in her college town after her fresan year, when she was 18. The deal was she was on her own financially for that choice. She had a great summer planned, living with cute boyfriend and best friend, working as a bar back in a bar where he was head bartender..then she got pregnant and flipped out, he broke up with her, she lost her housing and her job, and her best friend list her housing too, for which easy child felt reaponsible. I was flipping out from a distance, sure my fragile volatile depression prone oldest child would implode. But she didn't. She ended up moving three or four times that summer, once to a one bedroom house where 3 or 4 girls slept in the one queen sized bed. She got a new job, which she then kept into the school year. She eventually got over the boy, although it took about 6 months and some treatment for PTSD. She says it was very very hard, and when she talks about it now it is with pride..'remember when i was single, unemployed, homeless, pregnant, and a teenager?' I managed it! Good for her. I was terrified. She says now she didn't realize how hard it is to be a grown up. That was a long story, but I kind of see her in Jumper. Blessings on your house, mwm, and on your loving mommy heart.
