[quote=Anonymous]My grandmother was a bit like this: wonderful but also old school and capable of nursing massive grudges. She called me a derivative of my actual name throughout my entire life because she thought the name my parents gave me was the wrong ethnicity (French, can you imagine!) She freaked out on my brother for choosing a non-Catholic college and once refused to speak to me for several weeks because I was doing a study abroad program in a very far away and very foreign country. She got over both of these transgressions; I still have the letter she wrote to me while I was away as a non-apology apology. I remember being upset about it at the time, but honestly given how silly it all was it was somewhat easy to put into context and understand even as a teenager/young adult. Talk to your son, explain your mother's point of view, and let the whole issue simmer down some. She'll move on. Someday you'll look back on this and laugh.[/quote]
