FYI . . I did not delete your post.

Thanks for the constructive and somewhat harsh criticism. I have read the comments and I am doing my best to not "hover" but I am naturally over-protective of my daughter. Especially with her medical conditions and now, her pregnancy. She is a very young adult (20 years old) so I feel as though I come by it honestly.

I really have no malice towards the rest of his family and like I said, we rarely even discuss his family - but she was calling and texting me (and so was my son in law, in fact) on the way home which provoked a lot of anxiety for me.

Sometimes, as parents of adult children, we have to step back so they will become comfortable with their own voice and ability to speak up and not be swept through life based on other people's desires and motivations. It is hard to let go and be silent so that they have to learn to come to their own defense -- and masterfully negotiate what is best for themselves when dealing with others.

We "fix things" for our children. At some point, they have to learn to "fix things" for themselves. That is part of maturation.

No idea. I would have thought it would have been moved to "relationships."
