How to support my DD

Feeling useless. My DD is in the US just finished college and had planned to stay and do Masters and get a flat with her American boyfriend.

Last night he split up with her. No particular reason. I missed all the phone calls as I was sleeping.

shes saying she needs to pack up and leave and come back the UK
i want her to take time and not rush into anything. She had a summer job on campus lined up.
gutted for her.

What’s the best advice to give her. Haven’t really been here before.

she is headstrong and likely to make a rash decision

Did she meet her boyfriend whilst over there or was he part of the reason she was in America?

She met him at college. He is ex student working at the university. She’s been offered a summer job in the same department as him.

so tough being far away when she needs a hug.

she thought they had a future together- thy have holiday plans, and were looking at flats for August.

Well she might find it very hard to actually work with him if he’s dumped her. How important is the job?

It’s a dream job offer. He would be in th department but separate office. Not directly working with him.

she’s spent the last 3 hrs crying down the phone to me.
