[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 642027, member: 13542"] I understand your feelings MWM. Last year my granddaughter broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years. She cried a lot. Then after a little while, she also changed her mind and wanted him back and he said no. She was heartbroken. But, she moved on. I on the other hand, missed that boyfriend more then she did!! He had become a part of our family, was at our house all the time and is a really, wonderful young man. He was like a son to me. My husband said, "it's like he broke up with you!!" I was very sad. But, we all moved on, thank goodness. And, like COM, I recall having a boyfriend when I was 16 and he broke up with me. I was so devastated. I thought about that boy for a decade. I think we have to try to remember how dramatic life is when you're a teen. I remember my best friend and I almost purposely languishing in all the dramatic emotions.......we would commiserate on how intense our feelings were. Thankfully we grew out of that, but I think teenage girls have a certain attachment to the dramatic romantic aspects of relationships and on some level enjoy the intensity even when it hurts. We outgrow those feelings and I think we forget how intense it all was then. You worrying about her is part of your love for her, as COM said. They are our little girls and we know how much a broken heart hurts, we've all had one (or more) and we empathize with that hurt. I do that too. It's good to write it down as you have and move away as you have....... Hugs to you MWM.............. [/QUOTE]
