For what it explains, I sense that there is still love between you, so things can get better. I think that after a while, if she does not approach you (probably because of pride), it would be good for you to visit her, tell her that you love her and explain that she has educated you well enough to make you capable of taking your own decisions and that, therefore, although she recognizes that she has more experience, she must accept that you and her family do not need to consult with her about their situations, but that if she ever needs advice or an opinion, she will not hesitate to ask for it. Let her also see that her granddaughters need the love of a grandmother and that it is not worth getting lost in so much for something that can be changed if she wants it. Do not make her feel guilty, just express what she feels and leave the decision in her hands.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Most conflicts are resolved by speaking lovingly, but firmly. Do not let too much time to talk to her, remember that one day it may be too late.</p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3lm9th85","appParentAuthor":"ss3333","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
