I'm so sorry! Would you consider looking for a new therapist?

Good Morning, CoffeeLuvr: I've been asking myself that same question---why I can't get as excited about the new guy---because he seems to have a lot of good qualities. Initially, I feared that he was just a "rebound" relationship, and that my daughter would end up dumping him eventually...

Dear Blbnker: I am so sorry that you are going through this! I don't understand how your girl doesn't want you in her life---if she is living with your son---surely your paths will need to cross from time to time. I hope all of you can come to some workable arrangement. In the meantime...

Hi CoffeeLuvr: Wow---your insights about our brain wiring were very helpful! It never dawned on me that this is what might be causing my "irrational" connection to my daughter's love life. It makes total sense. My daughter is in a relationship with a new guy---who seems very nice, very...

Dear Coffeeluvr: I am fighting a very strong urge to go back on Facebook to do some more stalking. Last night, I went to dinner with a friend, and I thought I saw the ex there, sitting at the bar talking with one of his buddies. I was uncertain, but he caught me staring at him a few...

Dear Coffeeluvr: Thank you for sharing your story. I don't want to give you false hope, but many high school sweethearts reconnect in adulthood---so it might happen with your daughter---but you might be safer not expecting it, and just dealing with the situation as it is right now. It...

To Cherylluz: Your latest post really resonated with me. Your experience seems so similar to mine. My daughter has moved on to someone else as well, but I haven't met this guy yet, since it's still pretty new. He sounds nice, from what she has said, so I hope it works out for her. She's...

Hi Connie: I have to respectfully disagree with your latest post. Do you really believe that the death of a family member or the loss of a loved one for whatever reason is not serious enough to cause a person to become depressed and/or anxious? I speak from very personal experience---having...

Dear BLBNKER: Thank you for your sensitive and thoughtful reply. I am already doing some of the things that you mentioned---therapy and reading---and I have an appointment with a shrink in a few weeks---so I am willing to try the meds. I guess I have realized that there's more going on here...

I am so glad to have stumbled upon this site. Until now, I thought I was crazy because I was having such a hard time with my adult daughter's break up. Her situation is a bit different from those that I have read, since she was pretty much in the beginning stages of a relationship with a guy...
