Dear Annie letters on college choice and in-law boundaries
A reader asks how to persuade a protective mother to support moving away for college while another letter advises handling intrusive in-laws. Annie urges trust and ongoing communication, suggesting respectful conversations and maintaining privacy while staying connected. The second note notes the husband’s close family ties and recommends balancing affection for in-laws with time for the couple, and gradually warming to relatives.
