I'm widowed, white, with1son, age 20, that my late husband and I adopted when he was an infant; fine young man and love him dearly. He is of "mixed race" (white/black)and began dating a wonderful girl about 1 yr ago. (white)The girl's mother has real "issues" with her daughter dating my son (due to race) and kicked her out of the house several months ago. I took her in and she lives with me and my son now. She has a job and attends college part time, so does my son and both help at home. For the most part, it's an arrangement that seems to be working well. I often "feel" for her (the girlfriend) cause her Mom hardly ever calls her,sometimes emails, but it's usually negative contact. There's a sister & Dad, but they don't want to "rock the boat", I assume, and don't contact her much either, although they are on friendlier terms. I can see this hurts her. I don't pry, but want to help without causing more pain;she may be my daughter-in-law some day. Any suggestions?
