It is surprising to me to say that I am closer to our son than I am our daughter. My daughter and I were VERY close while she was growing up. We did things together and I adore her. Well, she ended up marrying and has turned into a totally different person. She is bitter, resentful and plays the role of victim too well. The girl I know is brilliant, has a lot of common sense, fashion savvy and very much loved her family. She does not talk to us. This situation has depressed me more than I can say.
On the other hand, my son has grown up to be a successful, secure, loving, smart man who loves his family very much. He will be getting engaged and we adore this young lady. She visits with us and talks to is, I think that some of the things the OP may be thinking is that when a man marries he looses the quality of the relationship he has with his Mom. That has not been true in our case. However, I will add that it is a good idea for parents of boys to let them go off on their own and not interfere. If they choose to spend time with you, it's golden. On a personal note, I would appreciate prayers regarding our relationship with our daughter. Sincere thanks! |
