[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember one day like that as a teen. The boy I was crushing on (I was convinced it was true love) asked one of my friends to homecoming, and she said yes. When I got home I threw myself into my room and wouldn’t come out. My mom waited an hour or two, then knocked on my door. At my tearful “come in” she popped in with two big bowls of ice cream - my favorite kind, which I knew we’d been out of that morning. She said something like “I can tell you had a sucky day, and I’m so sorry to see you sad. I don’t need the details unless you want to share them. But know that, whatever it is, there are people here who love you and will be with you long after this passes.”  Then she sat down with the ice cream and just chatted. I was still sad, but the hopeless feeling passed almost immediately.  My kids are younger, but I’ve always kept that script in mind for their teen years. [/quote]

What a good mom! Thank you for sharing - my mom never set an example like that.[/quote]
