My 18 year old niece's boyfriend of almost 2 years just broke up with her. She's absolutely devastated. Her mom moved 2 states away from her when she was 2 years old so she doesn't have a mother-figure in her life. Her dad's not really there for her emotionally, either. He did raise her all these years, though.
We, as adults, know everything will be okay but this is every bit as painful and real to her as it would be to us.
I've said all the basic things....It's gonna take time, He was a jerk anyway, It's better you know now, I understand, etc...
What can I do for her to really help? I remember how painful things like this were at her age.
