My son is recently engaged to a half-black young lady, whom we love and adore. Her mother is also half-black, but I’m finding that she is quite racist from her postings on FB. It makes me ill. I feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am praying that this works out well, but I just don’t know what’s what anymore. His fiancé is the girl of his dreams, but his future mother-in-law is leaving me wondering. What is my son getting in to? I’m not sure I’m ready for this roller coaster ride.
Just go with the fiance and how great she is. Try not to force the two families together too much. I think a lot of the family problems through marriage would do better if the two parental couples stayed pretty separate, only joining up when absolutely necessary. I’ve witnessed some marriages where they jolly-forced a lot of togetherness between the two families and it just doesn’t work. Best to spend holidays etc separately and join up only for those events like the grandchildren’s birthdays or sports. For some reason, those marriages have less trouble between inlaws.
Congrats to your boy. Hope all goes well for a lifetime.
Wow...sorry to ear it. I’m married to a latina lady for some 20 years now but she’s hard core conservative Christian. Big difference between what I read and what I experience daily. I don’t know how they avoid a conflict where we have never had one. Seriously, we’ve never had a “fight” ever.
