"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."

Our adult son has changed so drastically that we barely recognize him. He blames us for his wonderful childhood after dating a girl from a lesser background. He now feels that we gave him too much!! That we didn't give him the tools for success because we did too much for him, i.e., private educate, college car etc... My husband and I worked for everything we had and both of us came from broken families. We always wanted to give our children more than what we had. The girlfriend shames him daily for his connection to his mother. My son and I were always very close. Now , he is another person. When she is not around he seems more like himself, but those times become less and less. My heart is broken. If I attempt to defend myself he distances himself. He also shares everything I say to him in private with her. My trust has been broken. I love all my sons and this scenario we never saw coming. Nothing hurts like a son who judges his mother. I really don't know how this has happened. He was so happy. This girlfriend has him hook line and sinker now.. Any advice out there as to how I can keep my relationship with him without making it worse???
