The song "I Loved Her First" by Heartland makes me cry more than "Butterfly Kisses". It's a real tear jerker.

Hope things start to go better for your DD real soon. My DD (17) and her boyfriend of 2 1/2 years broke up about 2 months ago, it was hard for her and I think even harder for me!!! The worst thing is that he started dating a new girl right away. He was telling everyone how much he loves this new girl within a week after they started dating. DD is friends with all of his friends so they see a lot of each other. They sit at the same table at lunch and he won't even talk to her. He did not like DD's best friend when they were dating, now he calls her and talks to her all the time. DD is handling it pretty well, although she still has some bad days. He was part of the family so we all miss him. I hope there are many happy times ahead for your DD.

I was 16 when I had my first boyfriend and break-up. After that sad episode, my older sister recommended that I read "Shadowlands." The idea that "The pain now is part of the happiness then" was never more true and is something I lean on still. And you are right that "this too shall pass." Good luck.

Hey Pop Daddy, maybe you could start a new business:
Pop Daddy's DIS Daughters Protection Service.
Do I get a discount if I sign up as your first client????

LOL!!! Will you be offering chaperone services as well? I'd sign up for that service in a heartbeat when she gets more into "car" dating!!

I can feel your daughter's pain, but it's good she could cry on your shoulder.

I had my first "real" boyfriend at 14. We went steady for 2-1/2 years. He broke up with me and I was so hurt, but all my mother could say was "there are lots of other fish in the sea." She couldn't understand why I was crying and she really wasn't sympathetic at all. She had never had a "steady boyfriend" in school and really didn't know what it felt like to be dumped.

Aww....it really is sad. My DD17 is going through the same "take a break" right now with her BF of 1 1/2 years. Except she refuses to talk to me about it, and is very busy *pretending* that there is nothing wrong. Maybe she is trying to save face, I just don't know. In the meantime, I'm just trying to give her some space, and be available to talk about "other" stuff. Looking back, perhaps we were too accepting of their relationship - we always included BF in our family activities, and really enjoyed having him around. Now it feels like part of the family is missing.

It's hard. Gosh, maybe us parents should form a "heartbroken child" support group!

all the posts about the mom's missing the boyfriends maybe me think of my high school boyfriend. I dated him for 4 years (from a jr in high school to jr in college). When we broke up he said "now is the hard part - i have to tell my mom - i think if she had a choice she would keep you instead of me!".
Even in the saddness of it all that made me laugh.

My thoughts exactly!!!! He went on Disney vacations with us, went to Arizona with us and went camping with us on weekends. They never fought and everything was going fine. Everyone thought they were going to get married. Now I think that we shouldn't have let her get so serious. I still miss him and I keep hoping they will get back together. I know I should give it up but I just can't yet! Anyway good luck to all the moms & daughters who are going through this right now. I hope there are better days ahead real soon for everyone.
