I've posted about my DD and her boyfriend, and the fact that he went to beach week, and she did not. Her boyfriend is working tonight, so she went to the movies w/his best friend who is also one of her friends. She texted me and told me that the friend, in the course of conversation this evening, has let slip some things that went on at beach week which involved her boyfriend. She is upset, angry, hurt and betrayed. And most likely, has a right to be. I just feel....sad. I mean, the two of them have dated for a year and a half, and really for most of that, have gotten along so well. It's just sad when things have to wind down in this way. I feel sad for her, and sad for them. Wouldn't it be nice if kids could handle all this emotion and end their relationship w/o hurting each other (or in this case hurting HER) so badly? I know, I know....I sound terribly naive, and I'm not....I guess it's just wishful thinking. I just told her that I would respect her wishes, whatever she decides to do. Even though she is angry, I know she is so hurt. He really is a nice guy....he's just an 18 year old kid who isn't using his brain to make decisions. He's using other parts of his anatomy. :(
