Well, C shared a little bit last night that shed even more light onto her current mental state.

I spend a lot of time worrying about my kids' social lives too, Julie. But in the end, (or so I keep telling myself), they need to find their own way. It sounds like C is doing just that--sounds like she'll be just fine!

I'm wondering if any of you think there is a link between these attached at the hip relationships and being SA.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. It may be true for some couples. I think in other cases, the kids are just too naive to realize how temporary these relationships are. When my DD had her first boyfriend last year, they certainly weren't SA, yet they could have been described as "attached at the hip". My DD was convinced that this was it, that she had found her one-and-only and they would get married some day. She ended up getting really hurt when he unceremoniously dumped her, and she's much wiser now. I think she just assumed he was "the one" because she had never had a boyfriend before. She let most of her relationships w/ girlfriends slide during that period. Now, with her current bf, she makes loads of time for her own separate friends...and has even made a comment to me about her "future boyfriends", which shows what a different perspective she has this time around.

I will admit I was 'attached at the hip' a couple of times, and was definitely not SA at the time.

<<I can sure understand the frustration your DD must face listening to this crap.>>


No kidding, huh?
