I have been struggling lately with Kelsey, being thirteen going on 25 is a hard place to be, and I do know that! Every day I see this sad little face with tears streaming down it and no way to stop her hurt. What is a Mom to do, I have tried to talk to her tried to tell her she is better than this and that boys are not worth all of this heart ache.
She had a "boyfriend" for about 6 months or so, Curtis, and he broke up with her last week, Breaking her little heart. Now I know how that feels I am no stranger to a teenage broken heart I had a few myself, mostly I gave them but once in a while I got one, now being an adult I see how silly it was, is, and want to help her avoid the pain.
Most people laugh at her, laugh it off like it doesn't matter, but to her it does, no matter how you feel about it, it matters to her. The worst thing that has happened to you is STILL the worst thing that has ever happened even if it seems silly to others.
I know this will pass and I guess this is part of growing up, but man I hate to watch her so sad!
Oh, I am not looking forward to that stage... which I know is coming all too soon! You are right though, even though it seems silly if is important to her than it is important!
