[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you upset? We loved her and she had been a huge part of our lives for years, we knew her family, had been on vacation with her, she was at every holiday...In many ways it was like having another child. The decision was ds's and I am so sad for her, and it feels really weird knowing we probably won't talk to her or see her again.[/quote]

This is WHY you do not treat a GF or BF like "family". They are not, they are your DC's significant other. Until they are married, I keep a distance because your emotions and connections to the person should NOT matter or have any bearing on decisions that your child makes about their OWN relationships. Ridiculous. My DS broke up with his HS GF of THREE years and I didn't care... that is up to him. Yes, she was invited on vacation to the beach and yes she was at holidays, that does not mean she's part of the family nor that I should care whether my son is still with her. I have never felt this weird attraction that some of you do with your kids' SO. Weird.[/quote]
