[quote=Anonymous]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![/quote]
