how to help my son (18) through his first major breakup.

My first love and I were together about 10 years ago, last year after a very abusive 5 year relationship I was in ended,he magically began appearing. He left love letters in my mailbox, we’d bump into each other while both taking random walks throughout neighborhoods in my town, and now we have a home and a 10 week old baby boy. This may not be the lucky case for everyone… but life works in mysterious and magical ways. Although hearing that the pain is part of moving toward that special person…. It never helped me either when we originally broke up. Time was the only thing that helped me heal and it took me going through hell and back…. Everything works out eventually! (and I am only 22!)
