My 14 year old just told me over breakfast that she thinks that her boyfriend is mad at her. When I asked her why does she think that she told me that he told her over the phone that his friends told him that they were going to start having problems and that he wished that he'd listened. She asked him why? What happened? And he told her that he didn't want to talk about it. So she moved on to another topic. She also told me (with tears in her eyes) that she couldn't hear him perfectly so maybe that wasn't what he said or she misunderstood. My advice to her was to stay busy and let him call her...wonder what she's doing, etc...NOT to call him. He was telling her wonderful things even on Wednesday evening...Thursday she was grounded from the phone for an Algebra grade and Friday she stayed over at a friend's house. This child NEVER cries and she sat there in front of me with teary eyes. My baby girl...

I hope she feels better.

As the mother of a 16-year-old daughter with a steady boyfriend, I realize just how crushed these girls get when this happens! My heart goes out to your daughter.

I have a teenager also. His girlfriend has been playing games with him all year, it takes every ounce of energy for me to not let her have it. Thankfully he realizes what she is doing and he doesn't put up with it any longer. Oh I remember those years...you couldn't pay me enough to relive them. Now let me go back 21 years to the biggest mistake of my life...I'd pay to relive that time, and never have it happen. I hope she feels better.

I think it's almost worse when we have to see our children go through this stuff. My son just got divorced. His ex really ripped his heart out!

Last year at Christmastime my daughter had a different boyfriend who really broke her heart when he broke up with her. I could hear her in the shower crying (she was trying to hide it), and I went in there and sat on the toilet trying to console her and talk her up. She was just devastated.

She seems to be feeling much better at the moment. I've given her lots of pep talks and she is cleaning her room while singing along with her ipod. I really hope that he doesn't break her heart. It really IS worse watching her go through it. We'll see what happens...:) I'm just glad she's feeling better...thanks for all the replies and support.

As the mother of a daughter who feels distant from me, I'm still trying to be as in touch with her as a I can and as supportive of her going through this age in her life, even though she and her boyfriend are presently doing quite well.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
