{A broken Heart}

Oh dear, I'm new to this, but we are suffering our first teenage broken heart, and my heart is sad for her too.  Lots of tears yesterday, and an e-mail from her drama teacher to ask what was wrong with her most talented student! (No pressure there then!)

We've had a few hugs, but she's struggling to open up to me fully, and I feel awful, 'cos I think I can help, but she's just so hurt.

I don't fully endorse this friendship/relationship, although he goes to a school in Norwich, and not the same one as Sophie, he lives 20 miles away, and it's impossible for them to see much of eachother, and although her father is dead against this, I don't see too much harm, but the lad has broken it off because he feels their going nowhere, because his parents won't allow him to come into Norwich and we won't allow her to travel to his town on her own.

DH thinks she should forget him, and get on with her school work, I agree, and have to take the united parental line, but I can't help feeling for her, she told me "But I've loved him for a year".  I so wish I could zoom her 10 years into the future so she can see how she'd smile back at this situation, but none the less, I know it hurts however young and innocent you are.  I know it's all about growing up, and it's all life's experience, but I do need to give her hugs etc.  I really hope tonight she'll talk more about it to me more, because when she hurts, I hurt.

We also have to remember that this young lad lost his brother in the last month, and is probably very emotional himself.  He just wants to be "M8s" !

And just in case you think I am totally insensitive, this is a recent photo but not taken yesterday!!

I always think - if it's meant to happen it's meant to happen - her soul mate is still out there awaiting that special day where their lives change forever!! Big Hugs Sophie!!

Poor old Sophie I do feel for her too. I remember when my two had their hearts broken by boys and its awful. Not much you can do but be there as a shoulder to cry on and jsut be glad that they will confide in you too. There are so many youngsters who dont confide in anyone and just go around in a grouch - its so much easier to deal with them if you know why they are grouchy.
See you sunday
