Dear Queenie,
My son’s girlfriend got him involved in a religious group that doesn’t believe in celebrating holidays and birthdays. He got mad when I sent him a birthday card and now he isn’t speaking to me.
Queenie, how can I make things better between us?—Miss my son
Dear Miss,
You can apologise for not sharing his beliefs and promise to show them more respect in the future.
Is your son’s girlfriend speaking to you? If she is, perhaps she will put in a good word on your behalf. Surely these people understand that many people do not share their (un)beliefs.
