I've had my heart broken more times
than I can possibly think about in one sitting. Sometimes I think I've
had my heart broken more times than I deserve, actually. Some because I
make bad man choices and other times when it all seems right, even now
after years of reflection, it still doesn't seem to make a lot of sense
with some break ups. But I certainly know what heartbreak feels likes;
it's not a stranger.
So it was a bittersweet moment with
Mac got his first real girlfriend. I knew the odds of her being "the
one" for his entire life were slim but on the other hand I was happy
that he had a girlfriend. It was his first serious relationship and he
is an adult (Okay he's 20 yrs old. By law that's an adult, but it
doesn't SEEM like he's an adult!). In my experience with first love
comes a first heartbreak, usually, at some point.
She was sweet and he really liked
her. They had been just friends for about a year and then started
dating. They dated for 4 months (maybe more but I'm not sure when
'friend' became 'girlfriend' since he doesn't live with me any more!).
And yesterday she broke up with him.
She was was mean and bitchy about it, according to Mac (I wasn't there
to witness this, of course!).
No heartbreak I've ever experienced
is like the heartbreak you have in watching your child have his heart
broken. First love gone. I feel devastated for him. He flip-flops
between mad and sad, angry and "screw her" and wanting to cry to saying
"it's no big deal". Deep down I know it's hurting him.
And there's nothing mom can do to make this better.
Mac's Mom,
Maggie
