W came home around 10pm. Her and her friend went to a Greek restaurant where her friend was a 'regular' for years. Had fun, ate, danced a little. But, here friend said the place wasn't 'like it used to be'. She came home happy and had to tell me all about it in detail. Seemed like just a 'fun' girls night out.
D17's boyfriend decided to break up with her last night. Took about 2 hours, till midnight or so. As he was leaving he started talking to me about his reasons, his confusion in life as to what he wants and how he needs to feel like his life and his relationships are meaningful. We ended up talking for about 1/2 hour and I think he just needed to know that he wasn't a bad person for feeling the way he does. He cares for D17 but is, well, 17.
Having that talk really made me feel good. I like the kid and a couple months ago I think he was afraid of me or at the least thought I was crazy. Now he's able to respect me, and reach out to me. That was cool.
