No way. My first love and I are still good friends, actually. We had a mutual decision to break up and we even have a boy who just turned 9 years old this past weekend. It all depends on how you grow. Since there's nothing more than the virginity going on (not kids like I had) then it will be even easier to get over.
But, if she doesn't want to listen, like most teenagers, then she will learn on her own that she made a mistake. Sometimes, that's the best way. Shit, I did it a buncha times. But, I'm looking out for her emotions in the future. I know how she feels. She feels there really ISN'T a future without him. But, the truth is, life will go on with or without him. I left my husband because I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life as miserable as I was in the relationship, never mind being OUT of it. Of course I was depressed and I wonder why I was so broken up over it considering I felt like I was treated like shit. Hmm. All I can do is wish her the best of luck and offer my advice if she wants it... even if it's not what she wants to hear.
I just hope she'll understand that I really DO know what it feels like. But, I know she most likely will follow her broken heart back into her comfort zone. I suggest going to lunch with Mom and having a serious talk with her about how you feel and actually LISTEN to what she has to say. Yes, she doesn't like your ex because he hurt you. Wouldn't you feel the same if your daughter had been in the same situation? I know it's hard when you're 19... but put yourself in her shoes for a moment or 20. Hell, even I didn't really get it until I was 25... but Mom usually IS right.
