I really have no idea at all what the problem is. You'd think I'd have a clue, wouldn't you? But, I honestly don't. I've tried to do everything perfect: I mind my own business, I never give advice, never, ever; I've offered to babysit whenever they might need me (but I never get to  , I always go out of my way to deliver birthday presents and I always get her something special for her birthdays. This isn't always easy, because I'm not allowed in her house when she's there. I send cards, and I try to call (but, i'm not kidding about her never answering the phone.) I mean NEVER! I haven't seen my dil since last Christmas. I thought everything went fine that day. I made a special effort to talk with her about her knitting projects and sincerely complemented her work. (She's extremely talented.) I thought we had a wonderful time. She also thanked me for my gift to her and said she loved it. That was a first, so I thought I'd finally succeeded. But, like I said, I haven't seen her since and they only live 45 minutes away.
After reading all these posts, I'm thinking that the problem might be with her. Maybe she has some kind of extreme insecurity or something??? I don't know. It's very frustrating and like you said, puzzling!
I don't think it's religious or political. I don't talk religion or politics with anybody but my husband; unless they ask. My son has discussed this stuff with me, but even when we disagree we are very civil about it. That's one of the things I've always liked about our relationship. We can be different and think different, but still respect one another. We don't argue, we just discuss. I like that. Oops, I got sidetracked.
Anyway, I just don't know what happened or when. I just don't know.
