And you can even as a parent be like, I'm kind of glad they're going through this struggle.

And I'm glad they're talking about it.

And I'm glad they're dealing with it because they will gain a certain wisdom and

Now, do I like to see my son struggling or unhappy or crying or overwhelmed?

Of course I don't.

But at the same time, as a loving parent, I'm kind of like, you had to go through your first breakup, right?

And you're gonna learn coming out the other side.

I hate to see you crying and I hate to see your heart broken, but I'm kind of glad that this is a good way to have your first breakup.

And then you're going to have a second and a third and then, and then things are going to even out a little bit and you're going to have healthier and healthier relationships.

Yeah, yeah, sure, certainly.
