DEAR CHRISTINE,
I NEED SOMEONE to talk to because I cannot talk to my parents. I have lost my boyfriend and I cannot sleep and eat very well since he left me.
He was everything to me. We were going steady for six months and everything was wonderful before he met another girl.
When I asked him about her he denied it at first. Eventually he stopped coming to my home as often as before; now he does not come at all.
I have not seen him for two weeks and there is no use in calling him, as he’ll only hang up the telephone. He does not answer his cell either.
There seems to be nothing left. I hope you can help me.

Dear L.D,
I know you must be broken up inside, but still believe in the power of love and believe there is someone out there who deserves your love a lot more than this guy.
It’s not true that you have lost everything. You have your life and your pride, in that you have decided not to all him anymore.
I suspect you are very young and when you are, it is difficult to believe that the grief which comes from “losing” a love one will eventually go away. It does. Soon you’ll be looking back wondering why you were so hurt in the first place.
Give yourself time to get over this guy and soon you’ll be smiling and eating as you should again.
Believe me, happiness will come.
– CHRISTINE
