DD2 has just split up with her boyfriend of 6 mths. He was her first serious boyfriend and I’m so proud of how she’s handled everything.
He started out as a nice lad, but lately I realised he was getting controlling, wasn’t very respectful of her as a person and was gaslighting her.
I offered advice and she told me she’d already decided to end it with him as she “deserves better”.
There was an incident in school today and she told him straight up that he was scaring her and being disrespectful (which the teacher overheard and dealt with immediately).
I’m so proud of her - she’s had a lot of issues with friends letting her down and I think he targeted her as she was vulnerable but she’d rather be sitting alone at school than still involved with the ex.
She’s a much stronger person than I was at her age and I’m so proud that it didn’t take a marriage and children before she realised he was no good.
