Son told dad, who congratulated him on his promotion, that it was on platform he used “for professional purposes.'
Dear Amy: 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.
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.
