How are you today?

Crappy. I came across a post from my son's girlfriend from last March showing what I assume is her left hand with a diamond ring. The comments didn't reveal anything specific, but I assume they are engaged.

I was going to emoji this but there is nothing that can show what I feel for you right now. Big ol virtual HUG and an arm around your shoulder
from me here.
 
Thanks, @IrishEyes. This girl tends to post a LOT on social media, which I almost never use, and none of the comments said "Congratulaions"—but then, I'm out of touch with how younger generations communicate these days. I won't ask my daughters because I have vowed not to put them in the middle. And I think the rest of the family would be reluctant to even discuss it.

If it is true it's a devastating blow to be left out. A happy thing for him, of course. I should try to focus on that.

My last DIL is like that, I had to wait until she posted to everyone, engagement, wedding, no one was invited but she had photos of the ceremony with the minister and his wife (as witness), and then the announcement of the baby coming. It hurts I know. My son did sneak in
a call when he found out about the baby and swore me to never tell her he told. Like you, I don't want to get in the middle and be a reason
for a complete split from me. He seems happy, adores his little girl and that is what being a Mom of sons is about. I got silly excuses why
she feels she can't let immediate family know 1st. So... so be it. Just have to be happy with what we do get and go on. He and I were always so close it just shocked me he had to be pulled that way. I will have you in my thoughts and pray something mutual can come out this relationship.
Just feel my hug when you need one as, these emoji's don't cut it for some things.
 
Feeling achy today, hungry but not hungry. Grocery delivery today; looking forward to a nice salad later,

Thank you again, @IrishEyes. I'm sending you an extra hug; I agree that these emojis just don't cut it sometimes!

I talked to my father a few minutes ago, and he said he and his wife had heard nothing of an engagement, so maybe I jumped to an incorrect conclusion. It seems odd to me that she would post such a photo.

I have no control over the situation, which I freely admit makes me crazy. I need to accept things as they are.

I'm sorry your DIL is so uncommunicative—her behavior sounds odd—but happy for you that you still have a relationship with your son. 💜 I hope you have been able to see your granddaughter—?.

Yes I have a great relationship with her, we use video chat and are doing one of those add to the story games. Once I turned loose of the hurt it all got better on my end. I just watched how great my son was doing and kept positive thoughts that DIL would finally mature one day. Son has said that is happening finally. So I have hopes now.
