DD is 16. Her diagnosis is important to me in this situation because she is so very black and white with very set in her way and ideas of right and wrong (this can be a Good thing as well as not so good I’m aware of that and working with her)
She had her first boyfriend for 5 months and yesterday she found out he has cheated on her - he left his snap maps on and lied about where he was.
She threw his valentines roses across the back lawn and his hoody in the bin, she hasn’t said much at all apart from she has blocked him on social media
She has told me all about it and accepted some comfort - very rare to accept affection and my heart is breaking for her, she is so down and closed off, not eating, tearful.
I sent a message to her and her sisters inviting them for a girls night in with mum tomorrow night free choice of snacks, takeaway and film etc she read it but hasn’t replied and has just gone out to walk the dog.
I know I sound pathetic and I’m probably over thinking and we all remember our first heartbreak ASD aside.
Just need somewhere to write it down, if I could take on her pain I would do it in a heart beat.
I’m going to have to stand aside and let her work through it aren’t I?
