Your welcome....My daughter is still young yet, but I did raise another young girl from the age 12 until she got out on her own...Wow, was that interesting, I was only 23 when I got her. I remember good many times I would sit w/ her while she cried and felt her heart was broken, I use to try and make jokes to get her to smile w/ suggestions like, well we have 2 choices here...We can go get the boy, bury him in the back yard, LOL...or we can show him that you are a strong young woman and that you push forward for much better in life. She always smiles and said "back yard"...LOL...But, in time she watched more carefully about not being blinded by the puppy love...

I agree w/ you w/ rules and sometimes rules depend on how mature the person is. I believe that you being there for her and she knows she can be herself with you is something that is very special between you two and she will always feel secure w/in her mom. Us as parents might now always be able to take away the pain, but we can always make them feel love.....
