Advice from Amy Dickinson.
My younger son is 29. We have a good relationship. He lives an hour away and we see each other or talk every few weeks , but his mom and I try to respect that he has developed his own circle and his own life.
He posted the promotion announcement and in the “comments” section I wrote simply, “Congratulations, and all the best ...”A few hours later he wrote back telling me his promotion was one I had known was coming, and anyway the platform I used was “for professional purposes.” He added that I know how to reach him through other means for personal matters.I am feeling somewhat rebuffed and put down.
This is a potentially foolhardy approach, because family and friends, especially those in similar professional fields, increase his own network’s reach and relevance. We were told her allergy was environmental and that she could have a reaction just being around nuts.When I mentioned the nut allergy, they all laughed.They knew about it but did not especially like the allergic woman and even questioned the validity of her allergy.How do I get over this?These people have revealed their disrespectful natures to you.
