Mom confronts dad of teenage daughter's boyfriend for breaking up with her daughter 'the wrong way,' dad says her daughter 'isn't special': 'You really need to work on your empathy'

Teenage breakups are some of the worst breakups one can experience. At that age, you feel everything in such technicolor, that the lows can be especially low. You're still figuring out who you are and how to handle your emotions, and you're still getting a handle on your self-esteem. Any blow to your sense of confidence at that age can be hard to get over. Breakups in high school are also likely the first breakups you might experience, so you have no way of knowing for sure that you will indeed survive. 

However, like with everything teenager-related, things can get more complicated when there's parental interference.Parents have a way of both underestimating and overestimating how much their kids' emotions matter. That's what happened in this situation when one mom was overestimating, and one dad was overestimating. Read on for the details and see what you think about the situation.
