DD's first heartbreak

[Sammy]

Awww....I feel so bad. DD-16 suffered her first heartbreak this weekend when her boyfriend of 6 months broke up with her. He was a really sweet kid and we liked him very much. Between both of their sports and work schedules, they really hadn't been spending very much time together lately. He came over after work yesterday (have to give him credit for doing it in person), and told her they should "take a break" from one another. After he left, she just sobbed and sobbed on my shoulder. My heart was breaking for her! I tried to say very little, just listened and offered sympathy and encouragement. Poor thing....she got up for school this morning and her face was all sad and puffy.

From my grown-up vantage point, I know that "this too shall pass", and I know it won't be her last heartbreak in life, but it's still tough to see her being hurt.

Thanks for listening!

for your little girl. It is so hard to see them hurting. Someday her prince will come!

I've got a 19 year old DD, so you really have my sympathy. I remember one guy in particular who broke her heart (she was 16 too then). Her cat couldn't stand to see her so upset. He snuggled up with her and took care of her (even though his fur was all wet and soggy - he's a really good cat! ).

She did survive though and is very happy with her current BF (although his little brother - 17 - just got his heart broke too; maybe we need to talk! ).

Good luck and best wishes (it will get better with time although you probably can't convince her of that right now )!

I'm sorry for her, but as you said, it will pass.
After my share of broken hearts, I think I finally found my "dream prince", there is one for every one!

to her and you. My DD is 12 and I do not look forward to that stage in her life.

Hi. That happened to our DD. I think it hurt me more than her. I was the one who cried and thought it was all my fault. No after a couple of years she has found probably Mr right. They have been together over a year and does EVERYTHING with us, we just feel like he's our son and part of the family.After they first started going out, DD said "she would dig a hole and crawl in if he ever left her" so you know hes the one. We just keep telling her "Take it slow.(the chance of him with his side of family is TWINS) Not now PLEASE.
Tell your DD, Mr right is still out there.

My DD, 16, has her first boyfriend now. I'm dreading the day this happens with her. It's so hard on us parents too!

Over the summer my bf of 4 years and I broke up....that was extreme heartbreak lol. But, I got through it, and I'm seeing other people now. It's still hard getting used to not being in a relationship. Give her lots of hugs and let her talk to you - my mom was wonderful!

Awww, heartbreak is so hard. Your doing the right by just listening.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

awww.. that does have to be hard

My husband made the statement to me once about our girls future boyfriends and dealing with all that........ "I don't mind going to jail"

We have 3 DD's & have been through one minor heartbreak so far. I think a mom's heart sometimes hurts more for their child than the heartbreak of the parties involved.

Oldest DD has been in a relationship for a little over 2 years now & I dread the day that one ends.

Hey everyone.....

Thanks for all the hugs and kind words. DD called me to let me know she was home from school, and said her day was hard, but OK. She and BF see each other in the halls, so she said it was really hard to see him. Then she asked if I could take her to the mall . I guess when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!!
