"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

The replies from my first post gave me comfort just now. I do not use my computer for up to a week at a time, so my updates, posts and replies will not come quickly. I feel alot of support from this site already.
So, thanks to all who have replied to my first post and to this site for allowing me to grow and change so that I can be healthier and happier. God Bless, cdb

Thanks for checking in and for finding our site helpful. It is so hard to let go and let our adult children stumble around in life, making poor choices and blaming us for the consequences. The answer is to step back and let them. Our expectations included close relationships with them and our grandchildren. Learning to make a life without all of that is a real challenge...to let go of the disappointment and the drama and even the details. We are all with you. Sending love...
