| | October 22, 2008 | Comment about: The Effect of In-Laws on Marriage Success | | I don't talk to or see my son anymore (or rarely) | I did all the wrong things and now I do not have a relationship with my son. No regular phone calls to see how we're doing. No making plans for holidays. He also does not stay in touch with his siblings (whom he once adored) or his buddies he grew up with. You see, we are a middle class average family (outside of the fact I remarried more than 20 years ago when the children were very young) and successfully merged two families (my husband has two older boys and I have four). My son married into a wealthy family. Married the youngest of 5 (several years between her and her siblings) A strong individual to say the least. But the problems started very early on, before they married (they've been married 3 years now). They would arrive too late to family functions, or be evasive when asked what they are doing for the holidays. Or leaving early to spend more time with her family. Now there are not anymore phone calls discussing what everyone is doing for the holidays. I (we) just get a phone call. I miss my son terribly but believe it is too far gone. My daughters miss him too (except one stays in touch with his wife and prompts visits inviting her self & her son to their house). My daughters have children now and he does not see them unless a birthday or sometimes on holidays. My husband is very disappointed in my son, but I miss him awful. Any suggestions ... Thanks so much for listening. | |
