A  question for Carolyn Hax:

After 13 years of marriage and several children, my son found a girlfriend, and now the once- loving couple are getting a divorce.

My son has distanced himself from us while my daughter-in-law calls for support and encouragement. Son rarely takes our calls and makes no effort to visit, while soon-to-be-former-daughter-in-law actively seeks our company.

What do we do?

Sounds like some anger at work with the son but is the daughter in law sincere or politicking?
