[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 370212, member: 9175"] difficult child has been needy, clingy and dramatic ... all over a guy. Yes, it's always a guy that inspires the drama, but this needy, clingy stuff is a little over the top. She started "dating" this guy three weeks ago. Says she met him at a bonfire at a co-workers house, but I am fairly suspicious that she met him online or it was a setup with the co-worker....not buying the "we just met" story because I've heard it a thousand times. Anyway - that's not really relevant. The kid seemed nice enough. He was her age, a college student, lived with parents, was polite, etc. She saw him (that I know of) a total of four times, including the night they met. Four times. He broke it off saying (her story) he was messed up and scared about his feelings for her. According to her, he cried for two hours on the phone over this. Sounds like we have another difficult child on our hands. Not sure if this is what really went down, but does it matter? This was Tuesday nght/Weds a.m. She spent all of Weds crying, texting, on facebook, calling him, calling her two friends (the only two left who haven't gotten so sick of t his that they've bailed) all over this guy. Why? She crawled into my bed the last two mornings around 5:00. She moped around all day today. Thank God she's at work now and I hope being busy is occupying her mind a bit. She ate an entire pint of Ben and Jerrys, almost an entire pizza, went through numerous cans of pop and I found a tub of COOKIE DOUGH in her wastebasket under some clothes when i went to empty the trash. EWWW!!! I wish I could persuade her to see - at least - a therapist. I've posted before about her always falling in love instantly, and here's yet another example. Three weeks (one of which he spent on a family vacation), constant texts, FOUR whole in-person encounters and all this craziness. A non-difficult child would shrug and say "wow, he's got major issues" and walk away. She is acting like they were engaged or something ... and this isn't the first time. Thanks for listening. I am going to put a stop to sleeping with momma, but I can't stop the drama and the gnashing of teeth.... ARGH! Dash [/QUOTE]
