"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."

There is an old topic called "my adult sons blames me" or something similar, and I wanted to start a new and similar conversation. We are estranged from our adult son who blames us for not recognizing his "God given talent" as a mechanic and made him go to college instead. At any point he was free to pursue a career as a mechanic or something similar but has not chosen to do so. He has a career as a manufacturing engineer, but that does not require working with his hands. At any rate, he blames me for everything bad in his life, and texts some of the ugliest, most hurtful things to me. Has anyone who has experienced estrangement from a son also managed to reconnect at any point and resume a normal relationship?
