My daughter needs some nestie hugs :)

 

Well?..my baby girl is coming home .

 

My heart is breaking right now for her.  She has made the decision to break up with her BF of 5 years and move home  for her last 1yr and a half of college. She is very torn about this all and has been crying for weeks about it. I am trying to help her through this, but ultimately it has to be her decision. And she has made it. She is moving home this weekend.

Her and her BF have been together for 5 yrs they moved in together about a year and half ago. He is ready to get married, buy a house and have kids.  She not so much. SHE IS ONLY 20?21 in March.  She wants to be having fun with her friends still and is trying to finish college and then job hunt. She has a HUGE future ahead of her. Not to toot my own horn on my daughter?but she really is a smart girl and gets awesome grades and studies and works HARD.  She deserves to enjoy this time in her life.

I just want her to be happy and right now she is not.  She feels they have grown apart and they are different people. I know it happens, it happened to me with her father. We basically grew up together and then became different ppl. 

I am just super sad for her and know this is a very hard thing for her to do.

 

If you have any spare good thoughts, I would appreciate them coming her way.  She needs some nestie hugs.  I have been hugging her for a couple weeks and telling her I am here for you and I love you and I am behind you 110% no matter what J

What more can I do !!!

 

Thanks ladies !!!

  • lots of *hugs* to court! i'm sure that was a very tough decision but she is doing what is best for her, which will only be good. just remind her that putting herself first is always the right thing. you are a wonderful mom and all you can do is remind her to do what is best for her (which you are doing). tell her to hang in there!

    perhaps you girls need a little spring break weekend in DC? ;)

  • She sounds like such a wonderful daughter!  What a difficult decision for her to make.  I'm sending her lots of good thoughts and hugs too.  You should be so proud of her (and I know you are)! 
  • Oh that's so tough. But she's doing the right thing! She's taking care of herself and her needs and thinking about the future. Smart girl :) Hugs to her (and you!!- it has to be really tough watching her deal w/ it all) 

  • all sorts of spare thoughts for her for sure - and for you mama! I've been in her shoes and had to make some tough decisions too. I'm glad she's doing what's best for though - she is an amazing girl!

  • Big hugs to her! She def. seems like she has a good head on her shoulders and is making the right decision.
  • Huge hugs to you and Court.  That's such a big, mature decision to make.  And she's so lucky to have a supportive mom like you.  She'll get through this and it'll make her stronger, just like you.  

    Big hugs!! 

  • You must be super proud for her - she's made a very hard decision but it sounds like the right one.  *HUGS* to her - it will get easier, I know it's hard now. 
  • Thinking of you and Courtney!!!

  • Aw, that's so hard!  I'll be thinking of her and hoping she's able to move on and make the most of her time left in college! She sounds like she has such a good head on her shoulders, I know she'll be fine and that you'll take great care of her! :)
