I thought showing love meant staying close, but lately, it feels like the more I try, the more my son shuts me out. He moved to Seattle, keeps everything private, and suddenly I stumble on travel pics with a guy he never mentioned. My curiosity? Off the charts. I asked his brother, who spilled the beans but begged me to keep quiet. When I tried to reassure my son—just a gentle, loving reminder that we care—he hung up on me! Now he’s cold, and I’m left feeling angry, confused, and totally helpless. Why does caring feel like crossing a line? Have you ever been accused of snooping just for wanting to be close? How do you respect privacy without losing connection? Please, tell me I’m not alone in this mess! 😩🤦‍♀️ #FamilyTrust #ParentingStruggles #PrivacyMatters #RomanticRelationships
