D16 came to me tonight in the middle of my meditation, "Daddy, can I talk to you?" Well, she wanted to break up with her boyfriend and we talked and she cried and we talked etc. She told me her boyfriend was angry because she told him talking with me the other night made her feel better. Apparently, he was jealous of Dad because his advice didn't make her feel better. I said to her "you have to remember that I do this for a living, your bf doesn't" Here was his advice to D16 about feeling lonely "live with it or get over it" Whew, what's not to love there! Finally, D decided not to break up with him but to discuss with him what she wanted to see more of and less of. We discussed setting boundaries and I talked to her about the dangers of controlling men, that she needs to look at what makes her feel good and what makes her feel like she's walking on eggshells all the time. So, tomorrow she's going to talk to him in person about their R. I told her if she gets scared about anything to call me as I will leave my cell phone on all day. It never ends, does it!
