i want the new boyfriend gone
i know i am going to get all the "leave her alone, don't go there, she's a big girl and can make up here own mind, STOP!!! but here goes........ I am the mother of a teenage (18) daughter. she has recently started dating a new boy. i want to break them up asap. there is an ex who is madly in love with her and they have a lot of history. he is currently living with us. (to much to try to explain why but bottom line he has no where else to go) she is the one who brought him here and kept him here. he is not the greatest but i know without a doubt that he loves my daughter and would do anything to make her happy. they dated for three years and had the kind of relationship any mother would want for her child. of course there were lots of fights but the closeness they had was very touching. they were best friends and so in love and now she treats him like he has some kind of disease. it's almost like she scared to be friendly because she doesn't want to fall back in love with him. I have tried sitting back and waiting for things to work itself out but i am tried of waiting and have decided to take things into my own hands. so as crazy as i must sound, how can i get between her and the new boyfriend without it coming back to me. and how can i presaude her to give the ex another chance without her thinking it was my idea because i understand that if she knows it's coming from me... she will do the exact opposite. uugh please help
