Girlfriends

My 17 year old son has just been dumped by his first love. He is devastated!! Have told him not to get too involved but I know that he will and this will happen many more times. I don't know how to protect him or prepare him for adult life. He is still in school and doing ok but it's a constant effort keeping him grounded! i feel an emotional mess.

  • He does have interests like football and playing the guitar. Football has taken his mind off it but not when he's in house. He's too upset to play guitar and has punched a hole in his door in frustration!  He has a twin who has no tolerance for girl troubles so that doesn't help his mood! I don't want to wrap him up or mother him too much, but I'm finding this chapter in his life very hard. Yes he is also finding anxiety hard to deal with. he is bemused that this girl told him she loved him and doesn't anymore!
