Moms who let go when the time comes to a long way in building trust with the daughter-in-law. It’s about boundaries and respecting them. Proper boundaries are the starting point of all good relationships, I have found. So, when Brooks ran away, let him go. We can reasonably assume that the next two coronations will be reasonably slimmed-down events, possibly without the creation of a new crown for the consorts (Camilla, then Catherine). Even if there is a consort crowning during the coronation, it is unlikely the Koh-i-Noor will be used on any piece owing to the controversy. Here is the bottom line, as I see it. Mothers absolutely must understand that when a son marries, a new family has begun. That marriage is his NUMBER ONE priority. His loyalty and primary concern needs to be with his wife and the family they create. This never means that the mother ceases to exist and must be cut out or shown no concern. It means that she has done her job in raising a man, and she needs to step away from any attempts to keep the mother-son relationship a mother-child relationship. He is now a man and a husband. Failure to recognize this is the seedbed of most of the problems with daughters-in-law. 45 years ago, my dad drove drunk and got into an accident. We went to the ital with my badly injured mom. My sister and I just had some bruises, so all we needed was x-rays.
