DEAR ANNIE: I’m the mother of two grown sons. My youngest is married, but the marriage has strained our once-close relationship. She seems to control every aspect of their life together -- social plans, family visits, even how often he calls me. -- Sad MomDEAR SAD MOM: It’s painful to feel shut out of your son’s life, especially when you once shared such closeness. The best path forward is to keep showing steady love without judgment, while giving him space to manage his own marriage.
