The letter discusses the strained communication between a mother and her nearly 20-year-old son, who is away at university. The mother feels hurt that her son does not initiate contact, unlike her other two children who frequently connect with her. The eldest daughter expresses concern for her mother's well-being, as she desires a stronger bond with her son. The response highlights the importance of open communication and suggests ways for both the mother and son to bridge the emotional gap, ultimately fostering a closer familial relationship.
"It's important for your mother to communicate her feelings to your brother in a gentle way, perhaps sharing how much her heart longs to hear from him."
"Encouraging your brother to text or call more frequently, even just to check in, can help your mother feel valued and connected to him."
