Dear Lisa:

Today is the fifth year anniversary of your mother’s passing. You were 11 when she died, so you are now sixteen, my goodness, I didn’t know that you are that young. Finding out you are only sixteen gives a new meaning, in my mind, to your worry that you will “never find somebody that loves me like him”.

* If you are 16 now, and you got over an ex boyfriend a year ago, when you were 15, after being depressed for years over that ex boyfriend (“I gave him everything and he gave me nothing and I was depressed for years. I only got over it a year ago”), how old were you when you had your first boyfriend?

“I can’t stress myself out anymore. I can’t have this internal conflict anymore, it’s driving me crazy.. I need real time to live on my own without talking to him”- reads reasonable to me, that you should take a break from this guy, especially knowing how old you are. There is no reason and no rush for you to be involved with any boy at this time of your life, especially given your great distress involving the current situation.

Looking forward to your update regarding the anniversary date of your mother’s passing and regarding the meeting with your recent ex (?) boyfriend.
