I have a daughter who has been dating this young man for over two years. We just recently found out he is nothing that he told us he was. We thought he was a pretty good kid, although his family is really screwed up. Mother is single and a bit nuts and his siblings are pretty much losers.
They lied to her and us the entire time they were dating. I just want the little liar to be honest with her. She is devested by their breakup. She blames herself. I can't get her to let him go. I deleted his number from her phone and am forbidding her to see him. He doesnt go to her school so that helps, but he does live close by.
How can I help her get over this?
Counseling, perhaps? So she can work out her heartbreak and this experience. Unfortunately she learned young that some people are dishonest and not at all what they seem.
Some real information would help. How do you expect to get any sensible advice without any? How old is your daughter? How old is the guy? Are we talking teens or 20-somethings? Makes a world of difference. And what were the lies about?
I've said this on several threads, and i'll say it AGAIN: If you're going to post for advice, GIVE SOME INFORMATION!!! GEEZ...........what's so hard about that?

Yes, I agree 100%. If the girl is 16, I would say she was too young to be dating in the first place and maybe mom can forbid her to see him -- and realize she doesn't have the maturity to be in relationships at all.
If the girl is 18, she's technically an adult and there is less parents can do except point out that if you cannot handle a breakup, you're emotionally not ready for relationships.
But also -- if the girl is very young and was too involved in a relationship, be aware of serious emotional issues. Sometimes kids have invested so much in some boyfriend or girlfriend, and they really cannot handle a breakup. A romantic breakup with very emotionally immature can lead to suicide or suicide attempts.
