<p>I hear the "Dear John" letters (email, IM, as the case may be) are starting to roll in. My understanding is that this is about the time of year that breakups start to occur.</p>

<p>I told my boy to focus on KP right now - as hard as it may be, and as miserable as it may sound, USMMA is not condusive to a relationship. It's not fair to the one on this end, nor is it fair to him...</p>

<p>We had a talk about it before he left for Indoc - so it's not <em>really</em> a surprise...but it doesn't make it any less painful, does it?</p>

<p>I hope I'm dishing out good advice - I'm sure some of you parents have dealt with the same thing.</p>

<p><em>Sigh</em> Yep, its that time of year. They sure will be glad to see you guys on parent's week-end. :(</p>

<p>Grief is grief and is no less painful even if the reasons are sound.</p>

<p>The best we can do is support them through it.</p>
