Teen Dating
Quote From: charcli64My daughter is 16 years old and has been dating a boy for 1 year. They are experiencing difficulty and I am experiencing the feelings that I had when I was her age, sadness and worry, about what is happening. I want to help her deal with her feelings, but am having a hard time dealing with it myself. I know that it is unusual, and I don't like it at all, but I don't know what to do. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I can TOTALLY relate to this - my daughter is 16 and has had a few big dating "ouches" this year (most recently just two days ago). Like you, I'm experiencing the feelings of sadness/worry I used to have after break-ups and such at her age. I don't understand it, and I don't know how to shut it off. I want to support my daughter and help her work through her feelings, but I'm beginning to wonder if she's handling her problems better than I am. How are you doing after a couple of weeks have gone by?
