for those of you who've listened to me vent and worry about brittany and her ex-boyfriend will understand my elation on him finding a new girlfriend!!  of course it's heartbreaking to watch her cry and cry and cry about this. they haven't been in a relationship in nearly a year. but i think she was always hoping they'd end up back together. she found out yesterday and has been crying ever since. so my heart truly hurts for her. but i'm so grateful that he has moved on and now maybe she will too. i can only hope. this should be the end of this saga. thanks to all of you who have prayed, listened and been supportive over the past 2-3 years! karen |

Oh the pain of losing that first love !!  ... BUT I share your elation on this because it was so clear this guy was no good for brittany .... She can move on now ... maybe not immediately ... but she will .... I am sorry that Brittany is hurting right now ... but I am happy in the longer run!! |

I´am sorry for Brittany hurting right now too, but reliefed at the same time. She doesnt realize it now but she´s so mych better without him This was propably the best resolution for this ever, I dont think she would have ended it any time soon.... Good to hear this, I know from what you´ve told, that he was terrible to her..and now she´s got rid of him |

it's nice to hear all your kind thoughts. he really was just awful for her and i know it's the best thing. i even asked her last night why she was crying so much now, i'd have expected it nearly a year ago when they first stopped seeing each other on a regular basis. she said that it really hadn't been over and she thinks that in part he found someone to replace her while she hasn't found someone to replace him. i know it hurts but also know this is definitely the best solution. she said they still talk and i told her i just hoped she didn't continue to pursue this as i know i didn't raise her to butt into a relationship like that. she said she wouldn't and that she isn't that kind of person. i think she hasn't let herself care about anyone else because then he'd have never taken her back as she'd have been damaged goods. hopefully, she'll move on in time and find someone who treats her the way we should all be treated. thanks again for all the times you've listened.  karen |

My first love was a bad boy and though I realize now he would have been no good for me I remember the pain I felt when I knew it was over for good. My heart hurts for her while as a parent I join you Karen in your joy. She WILL move on and one day fall for a wonderful RIGHT guy for her and look back on jerkboy to finally see she is indeed better off. I hope for her that day will be very soon.

Karen it must be hard watching Brittany's heart break but like you said it is the best for her in the long run~~~just your being there for her will make her a stronger person. It is hard to lose that first love but she will get over it~~easy for us to say I know because we have already been there and done that but just continue being her comfort because that is the important thing now. to both you and Brit !! |

thanks again to all of you for the thoughts and hugs!
i didn't see brittany cry yesterday for the first time. she worked most of the day and then her and ed went to the movies. we've been taking turns babysitting her!
i don't see this over in her heart for awhile yet. at least she looked better yesterday without the swollen, red eyes.
she didn't even get the fun of a bad boy! this guy seemed like a nice enough guy to meet him, very clean cut, etc. but controlled her and made her feel bad about herself.
she is going to CA by herself, gulp for mom!, in a couple weeks to see a couple army friends who are leaving for iraq in the next couple months. she's also going to visit a college while she's there. nothing romantic with one of the guys but her and the other guy have chemistry! (i try not to think about it!) but i don't think she'll get overly involved since he leaves at the end of sept. she's also only going to be there for a total of four days, fri-mon. not much time for a relationship to last thru iraq!
that gives her something fun to look forward to and think she'll be even more interested in going away to school next year now that this thing with jerkboy is over. i just hope he stays with this new girl until she leaves next fall. i bridge i hope i don't have to cross.
thanks again for checking on brittany.

Karen, speaking from an equally hard headed daughter point of view that had a jerkboy too.......she'll look back and if she's anything like me wonder why in the world she couldn't see what everyone else saw at the time. I wonder soemtimes what made me not listen, then all of a sudden it dawned on me to respect myself and my feelings. She'll be there soon Kaiti |

thanks kaiti! i know i was as hard headed as she is now! i might even still be that hard headed! but guess i was lucky and didn't date any jerkboys. there were a couple who were sort of jerky but i figured that out right away and it sort of died a natural death. thankful i didn't have this sort of experience.
