We appreciate you sharing your concerns with us. We have some useful tips for you.
Talk to your son openly about things.
Maintaining communication with your son is a good thing, even if you are not happy with his behavior. Talk to your son and get the other side of the story. It’s possible that your son wasn’t interested in learning every aspect, or that your daughter-in-law didn’t reveal everything.
Talk to him about your concerns and express your upset in a calm manner. Make him aware of Amy’s feelings and let him know that you expect him to take responsibility for his actions.
Make sure he takes responsibility for the child.
Inform your son that he has to take care of the baby as well. Even though his feelings for Amy have changed, they should take care of their child together. Encourage your son to contribute financially and emotionally to the child’s life. Think about how to schedule time for your son and baby to interact. As a result, they could become closer and create a stronger bond for teaching.
Keep in touch with Amy.
If it’s okay with Amy, keep in touch with her. Extend your friendship and support and show your sincere concern for her and the child’s well-being. Since she is raising the child alone, your help will probably be greatly appreciated.
Apologize if necessary.
If you feel that what you said on your wedding day was too strong, you may want to consider apologizing.
Things are said on the spur of the moment at times. After all, it was a big day for your son. Express your thoughts and feelings, but acknowledge that the language you used may have offended someone.

After receiving a reader’s message, we appreciate its openness and provide some helpful suggestions.
1. **Communicate openly with your son:**
   Start an open conversation with your son regardless of your displeasure with his behavior. Understand his point of view and consider that he may not be aware of all the details or that your daughter-in-law has not shared everything. Calmly express your concerns, inform him of Amy’s feelings, and emphasize the importance of taking responsibility.
2. **Make sure he takes parental responsibility:**
   Emphasize to your son the importance of fulfilling your responsibilities as a parent. Although his relationship with Amy has changed, co-parenting is essential to the child’s well-being. Encourage financial and emotional contributions and suggest he schedule a time to bond with the child. This could strengthen their connection.
3. **Keep in touch with Amy:**
   If Amy is open to it, stay in touch with her. Extend your friendship and support and show genuine concern for her and the child’s well-being. Since she is raising the child alone, she will probably appreciate your help.
4. **Consider an apology if necessary:**
   If you feel your wedding day comments were too harsh, consider apologizing. Sometimes words are spoken in the heat of the moment, especially on significant days like weddings. Express your thoughts and feelings while recognizing that your choice of words may have been hurtful.
Navigating this delicate family dynamic requires patience, understanding, and open communication. By addressing these aspects, you can help promote healthier relationships in your family.
