"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 prices on Costco's gift baskets often include shipping fees...

Daughter in Laws and/or Son in Laws / Re: When do you give up on a daughter that hates you?

 ;D  We can relate with your sister, only we were flying solo using a map.  I don't recall the man's name; a guy who used to give painting classes on the PBS channel.  It was during our time in Seattle that I learned those little "happy trees," as he called them, truly existed.  I fell in love with those little "happy trees..."

Luise,

Dh & I spent time vacationing in Seattle several years ago.  I wanted so much to see Mt. St. Helen's!  We finally did, as we flew over heading back toward home!  It didn't matter nearly so much though, after we stopped at a roadside stand & learned all there is to know about Rainier cherries!    :D

Adult Sons and/or Adult Daughters / Question
November 14, 2010, 03:58:56 PM
Have you all had an opportunity to pour out heart-felt thoughts to your estranged ds & dd's?  DH & I wrote a letter to dd.  Dh had been reluctant, but is squarely standing beside me rather than behind me now.  It was cathartic to be able to speak from the heart.   I hope & pray for a brighter future, that we will be allowed to share in dd's life & enjoy watching gs grow up.  But the choice is hers.  I feel I'm a mother once again and I can live with her decision, whatever that may be.

It occurred to me that dd may some day be a future mil spoken of here.   I read with interest the post about fight or flight syndrome.  Over the years, I've repeated the stages of grief.  The final stage supposedly is acceptance.  I can't be sure, but I think just maybe I've reached it.  I want to thank you for this site, Luise.  I've been a lurker, and have learned a lot from you all.  I'm sorry I didn't post sooner, I was too hurt and ashamed.

Rose
