In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane hears from a mom whose son cut ties with her 8 years ago.
By Annie Lane | creators.comMy son has not spoken to me for eight years. He married a woman he met online in a matter of six months. I was very hesitant about his jumping into a marriage so quickly with a stranger. I’m a mother who wants a happy life for her children.
So, later that evening, I went over to talk to my son in person about the disrespect that his wife displayed, and he pretty much sided with her. I know she is his wife, but I’m his mother. He stopped talking to me after that and relocated to Florida. But now he’s back in the same city where I live. That really upset me, and after he was released from the hospital, he cut off all contact with me again. He now lives with my daughter. I’m not speaking to my daughter because she has them living in her house. I just feel like they have betrayed me when all this time I’ve been a mother and father to them. Can you please help me move ahead, Annie? Thank you. -- Wanting ContactThe best way to move ahead is to take a step back -- and look at the big picture.
