I think in this respect Ziggy and I are very similar (excluding the difference we call gender!). We both seem to be about as religious as each other.
bigbbfan - I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say. My daughter (22) was seeing a boy (she thought she'd never get a boyfriend because of her depression and other mental health problems) and he dumped her callously by text last week saying he'd been seeing a girl he works with (he's a gardener!!!). She has spent the best part of the week crying into her pillow. It's been a very difficult for her and for me.
I do hope your son and daughter can sort out their differences and at least remain amicable. You sound like a very caring mum and he'll thank his lucky stars he has you in the background to help pick up the pieces.
Take care.”

I am sorry to hear about your daughter it must be an awful time for her. There isnt a good time but just before Christmas isnt good. I dont think things can be sorted out either it has gone too far for that other people involved and all that.
He is just going to have to put his shoulder to the wheel and work his way through it. His job is very pressured and so he can get his teeth into that and hopefully keep himself busy.
