"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."

Thanks again for the encouragement.my son had to get his jaw wired today.It's part of the healing for this surgery.He was quite scared as he texted me a few times today before hos appointment at 11:30 with the surgeon.He texted me later to tell me that he apparatus he must keep in his mouth is elastic.He can take it off only to eat which he hasn't really been able to do yet due to pain.Hopefully the inside of his mouth will heal quickly so that he can at least eat solid foods.He is having liquids at this time.Will keep in touch.I like the words of wisdom form you ladies.I will get more info tonight or tomorrow.Goodnight.

I was really surprised to get such helpful feedback.I have never posted anything online before.Thank you so much . We did leave for Fl today. I did tell my son that I will be near the phone and his fiance who I spoke to also said that she will call me as soon as she sees him after the surgery.My son sent me the surgeon's name,name of hospital etc.I know that things will go well.If he really needs me after I could fly home and stay for a while .At least he knows the offer is still good.I will let you know the results.So nice to have someone to isten to your feelings.Great group!His surgery is next week.A prayer would be appreciated.

My son who is thirty six is having a surgery which I would consider serious.It will take over four hours.I was suppose  to leave to winter in Florida but told him that I WOULD POSTPONE OUR TRIP TO GO SEE HIM AND SEE THAT HE IS OKAY.He told me that he has his fiance and lots of friends if he needs anything.I said "Yes but I am your mother and want to be sure that you are okay.He emailed me and told me to go relax in Fl.He said that his fiance can give me details if I call her.I don't feel too good about it.But it is his wishes that I go to relax as he says.I know that he loves me but lately  has a funny way of showing it at times.Any advice?Sad Mom.
