Random FB / Family Gripe
Background:
So...I heart my second cousin. I really do. Her mother is kind of a pariah in her family, and there was a lot of bad stuff that happened to her as she grew up and she's now cut out EVERYONE in our huge extended family, except for me, i.e. changed her name, moved across the country, etc.
So I've kind of become her "grown-up friend" that she goes to for advice, but I have to be very careful when I talk to her that I don't come across sounding like a mom, because I'm the only link between her and the family now and I don't want to lose her forever.
Today:
But kid is 19 years old, and just posted this on her FB wall:
Another year without a Valentine./sigh #foreveralone
You're 19 years old, and you just broke up with your upmteenth "boyfriend" of two weeks three days ago. And you think you'll be alone forever? I'm struggling right now to not give her a virtual slap upside her head.

This! I take it as a girl who can?t wait to have her special valentine?s day in a fantasy way rather than ?so many years without a valentine? attitude. She clearly has the ideas of romantics in her mind over relationship. This sounds really normal for someone her age.
