 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: Over three years ago, my son was widowed. I moved in and helped care for my three grandchildren (8 to 14), kept the house, and basically enabled him to hold his life together. Last year he started dating a nice woman, and it was so great to see him happy again. She is 35, the youngest of a large family, and lived with her mother until her mother died shortly before she started dating my son. Because of this family dynamic, I assumed she would welcome my staying on after the marriage. They both work and I can help so much, especially after they possibly have a baby. The wedding is months away, and my son initiated a discussion about my finding a place of my own. I presented my case for staying on, but he said his fiancee is looking forward to running her own household after so many years living with her mother. I feel like I'm being punished for the sins of a dead woman. I want to love and welcome my new daughter-in-law into our family, but it's hard when she's kicking me out. Am I wrong to feel this way? How can I possibly look at it in a different light? — Kicked to the Curb |
