My 17 year old son had cried for years that there just weren't any good girls out there. He finally found her. She was stunningly beautiful inside and out.......she was a strong Christian girl.......she met everything that he had put on his list for the perfect girl. She played Halo.......was a great student athlete, didn't party, was as sweet a kid as there could possibly be. He was her first love......she his.....They dated for 6 months.  But he put very little into the relationship.........and I mean infintessimal.......and yet she stood by him......then 4 days ago.........he broke her heart by ending it........and made it look as though she was the one who didn't do anything to make it work.  He never sent her cards, letters,  after the 1st month or so......He complained of not being able to see her enough during the school week....but they spent just about every weekend available that they possibly could going out to movies, dinner, concerts........at my expense.......Yeah.I know..........I totally spoiled his rear end because my wife and I liked the girl so much. My son has great grades.........is heading to USC on an Athletic scholarship.......She's made it into SC too! He said she didn't open up enough to him about her feelings early enough, but I know she did and I know this to be absolutely false.......since the majority of his friends are saying it aint so "Joe." I want to wring his neck for what he did.........My wife and I raised him to do better.....He comes from a very loving home........where love and understanding aren't just mere words.........it's actually practiced..........So why do I want to wring my sons neck? I know kids make mistakes..........and I am afraid he is making a huge one........and I am actually happy for her because I felt he didn't deserve someone like her after treating her this way. She deserves better. I hope and pray he will learn from this........and I know that I am really more disappointed in him than anything......but why do I still want to wring his neck?
