[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 541905, member: 59"] When easy child's first boyfriend broke up with her at the end of freshman year in high school she was devastated. She decided to go to that high school because of him, insetad of the one we were encouraging her to go to. They were both on the track team and because of the breakup she wanted to quit. She wanted to stop doing all the things she loved because of him. He ended up years later being gay, not that there is anything wrong with that and we are both glad he is happy but it reminds her now how that early love is just that, far too early to even know what you want. Her second serious boyfriend broke up with her right after his senior prom. He lived two doors away from us and it was awful. She would stand in our driveway and stare at his house and when he came outside she would stare at him and cry. I had to drag her inside so she didn't make a scene. It took her all summer to get over him. I hate breakups. Each time easy child went through a breakup it was like her world caved in. I am convinced you need to go through those breakups to prepare you for live,to teach you how to bounce back and how to handle disappointments and that you have to first love yourself before you can love someone else. But at the time I wanted to kill those boys for breaking my baby's heart. Of course I didn;t think any of them were future husband material for my precious daughter but that didn't matter at the time. The point is our kid's heartaches are almost worse on us than they are on them. We want to fix it, make them happy again, but reality is no one could fix our hearts when we were that age and if they hadf we wouldn't be the sttrong women we are now, the kind of weoman we want our daughters to grow into. She will be OK and so will you Mom. Keep doing what you are doing and assure her that her heart will mend and someday someone will come along that will make her heart sing and this time will only be a memory. Nancy [/QUOTE]
