I was just thinking on this matter, how do mommies or daddies react... When we are the ones in emotional dilemma, we feel strong. I mean like, we know that we could move on, the pain won't last and tears would one day run out. I just wondered, what if, as time passed by and your son or daughter, whom you cared and loved and raised well, had a girl/boyfriend and somehow their relationship gets unstable and you find out that they've broken up. whatever the reason is, you find your son/daughter depressed, sad and devastated on the first few weeks after the break up... how do you help putting him/her back on his/her two feet? how do you make them believe that everything's ok? and how do you deal with the girl/boyfriend who broke your precious one's heart? hehe just thinking what'll i do when i become the parent haha

jd107nette ..I think all we can do is tell them we understand their pain as most of us have been through something similar and can relate. Your child will have disappointments in life and telling them it's ok to be sad/angry and telling them eventually it won't hurt quite so much is probably good. You might tell them your own story or a friends story of hurt so they know they are not the only one who has been through this.

I will get sad for my daughter I'm sure. hehehehe hhhmmm I think I will do the same like what my sister did to her daughter. Her daughter was depressed and cried so much because her boyfriend cheated on her. My sister cried for her too and she hugged her and comforted her for many days until her daughter got over with it. If it will happen to my daughter someday, I will comfort her and make her busy, go shopping and go anywhere. I will probably say to her boyfriend to stay away my daughter.
