Princess and Stepping Stone broke up, got back together and broke up again, all in less than 2 weeks time. This time I pretty sure it's for really. The in-laws were over for dinner last night, and after cleaning up, Loghead set up the computer so we could Skype with her. She had a girlfriend with her, so we didn't stay on very long. But it was enough to make her homesick, because less than 20 minutes later she called me, all upset. She's been so broken hearted about the break up that she hasn't been able to keep food down all week, she can't sleep. Between sobs, she finally confessed that he cheated on her. (Someone else wanted him?!) About that time, she said she had to be sick again, and said she'd call back, and she hung up.

So I have no details. Sent her several texts after, and tried to call again. Messaged her on facebook today and called her. She said she was just getting out of the shower and she'd call back. 2 hours later, she still hadn't called, so I called her back.

"What do you want?" she snipped.

Oh... so that's how it's going to be? Good ole Last-Wife, the SM that raised you from the time you were 5, she's not really needed? Fine, whatever.

I ignored the tone and invited her to meet me for dinner tomorrow in a town that is halfway between home and the university. She turned me down- said she had study group tomorrow. Someone tapped on her dorm room door, and I heard her say she was ready. "We're going to dinner. I gotta go,' and she hung up on me.

But I see on Facebook this afternoon that she has listed BM as her mom, and I'm just listed as a friend now.

By now, many of you know me, you know my story. I am not heartless. No matter how many times these skids have kicked me, I still love them and support them. I'm not gonna say "Told ya so," or "You deserve better than his fat ass." I know what it's like to be cheated on. Especially if the cheating happens because you have high moral fiber and you aren't ready to give up your virginity to the first guy that comes along...

Stepping Stone was always so high and mighty, biblical and better than anyone else. I can see from his Facebook page that college changed him pretty quick. I'm proud of Princess for not giving in. I didn't like the kid, but honestly, they were coming up on their 2 year anniversary. If he didn't have enough balls to break it off with her instead of cheating on her, I'm seriously ready to hurt the kid!

I don't deserve her closing me off like this. She seriously has only returned 3 of my calls since leaving for school in August and she has only called me 5 times, each time when she needed something. Never to just chat, and fill me in on things, like we used to talk when she was home. It feels pretty empty and cold.

I'm worried about her. Loca Grande has been trying to dig her claws into her since she went away to school. I can tell you, it's because there is some money involved. Loca Grande is hoping to get some of it... I know deep down that Princess is more like her mother than she wants to believe. I worry that without support, this break up could be the catalyst for her mental breakdown, and she would step into her mother's shoes.

Short of still sending supportive texts and popping messages on Facebook, there isn't really a way for me to connect wiht her right now. My heart breaks for her. I wish she felt she could come to me... Why now, after all these years does she think she can't?
