[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD experienced her first heartbreak last spring, and I agree with the PPs to acknowledge it, tell her yeah this sucks, let her wallow for a bit, and she'll get to the other side.

If this weekend the two of you could go to the movies, go out to eat, do some shopping?  And remind her not to let a boy steal her joy.

The OP didn’t say if it was a boy or girl going thru the heartbreak.

My son was 15 when he had his first heartbreak and he didn’t communicate a ton but was really sad and grumpy for awhile. Went down the wrong path for a bit too which worried me.

[b]It sucked because it was his fault for the break-up, so it was hard to sympathize with him, esp as a mom I was disappointed my son was an idiot to a girl. But teens do dumb things. They live and learn and develop better lessons and skills for future relationships. [/b][/quote]

My kid did the same this past fall, but he was really open and honest about what he did to shank the relationship and it gave us a fantastic opportunity to talk about all sorts of things. We gave him advice to disconnect with her on social media and he ignored it at first. He wallowed for weeks. We offered supportive words, promised him it would get better, but there’s not really a healthy way to short change heartache. You just have to move through it and believe that it will get better.
