Just need a safe place to talk (Update post 22)

Poor thing. There's really not much you can do except to just be there for her when she needs you to comfort and your words of wisdom. Time will heal all wounds. But it's too bad the (ex)bf couldn't had provided an answer as to why they broke up instead of just not responding. That must have hurt your daughter a lot.
Lots of hugs, ice cream, and her favorite movies should help!

Thought I would post an update.

She has spent the last 2 weeks volunteering at a New Life Camp. She is loving working with the small children. When she comes home she is so tired that all she can do is shower and sleep.

She actually started laughing again so I think that is a good sign.

Thank you all for being here for me so I can be here for her.

Hey now, boys get heartbroken, too. I'm the oldest of 5, and 3 of them are boys, and they've had their hearts trounced on FAR harder than me or my sister have dealt with. My brother's first girlfriend (they dated from soph year of HS through graduation) was set to go to college with him and their friend, she had a reason to be at college before normal orientation so he went with her, she started the organization that caused her to be there early, he joined too, it looked rosy. Then before normal orientation started she quit the organization, quit that college, and quit him. She didn't even tell him why. She didn't even tell him. She had her parents talk with our mom and stepdad. And they either didn't know why or weren't telling.

It nearly destroyed him. (to this day I wonder if there was something baby-related happening...and that's another thing girls have control of that can have tremendous effects on a boy's heart, mind, and even soul...but he doesn't know)


Girls aren't the only ones who get their hearts broken.

Absolutely true. Mom of a DS28 who has had his heart broken a time or two.

And mom of DD17 who has been the heart breaker and it isn't easy on that side either. Most of DD's dating relationships have been short lived and have pretty much just mutually played out and they moved on as friends. However she dated one boy from February of sophomore year until last October. No doubt that he was madly in love. DD on the other hand just liked him OK. When she finally decided to break up with him it caused her great anxiety- she's kind and caring and she knew that she would break his heart. She went to his house and tried to do it gently but he took it very hard,
