teenage daughter's boyfriend trouble

[Cobbstar]

Hi Mums - hope you can advise me. Have 2 lovely girls never been any trouble and always been able to talk about anything, but now eldest has boy trouble.She fell head-over heels last year aged 16 wth very nice boy and they seemed destined to be together.
Then without any warning b/f finished with DD just after her 17th b/day. She took it really badly and was awful to see my girl so heartbroken and crushed.She has taken a long time to find her confidence again and has become friendly with another boy but now first b/f has started txt and e-mailing her again and I don't know what to advise her for the best.She is stronger now than when he dumped her and she says she won't let him hurt her again and he seems genuinely sorry,but it was me who had to listen to her sobbing night after night, encourage her to eat and get out again and I don't want her hurt again.Do I stand back and let her make her own decision or do I say I don't trust him not to do this again.

This might sound harsh but would you have listened to your mum back in the day? Just be there for her whatever the outcome. I'm so glad that I'm not in your or her position but trust that she is older and wiser than last time because of the great relationship that you have with her.
