I do understand that you don't know me and you don't know their side. I appreciate your kindness and help.

I will do as you say, Whatdidyousay; I will mail them letters and hope they are reaching them. Maybe one day they will respond.

This is a post from the news: Remains found in Utah ID'd as long-missing woman For us, never having an opportunity to talk with Jeremy, we have often wondered over the last 7 years if they were even alive. I can think of absolutely no reason to ever make a parent wonder if their child was...

It is nice to have good relationships with your family. I'm glad that your mother in law is able to tell you how much she cares for you. We are not able to tell Jeremy and B. how much we love them because they won't communicate with any family. I would wonder that it could be because of us, if...

What I see is a MIL that wants a relationship with her daughter-in-law and son and is seeking help from the deaf community because Jeremy and B. are deaf. Instead of getting advice, though, I get judged.

These posts are not negative. I have not talked bad of her, called her names, or anything other than trying to figure out if her deafness is why she is untrusting or if there might be another reason. I know of just a couple of people who have shut their families out of their lives and they have...

Of course, Reba. We don't have their side of the story on here because they haven't communicated with us for years and they evidently aren't members of this chat group.

Jeremy is not allowed to go anywhere without her.

Thank you all for talking with me. I really thought she was unsure about trusting others because she was deaf, but after talking with you all, I think maybe something happened in her childhood that has caused her to feel as she does. Yes, you are right - Jeremy will need to stand up for himself.

we haven't communicated with Jeremy nor Brandi in over 7 years. When they lived with us, I would encourage her to email her parents or text them. She wanted nothing to do with it. She wouldn't let Jeremy communicate with his mom while he was here. I spoke to Jeremy's mom two weeks ago and she...

She has no relationships with anyone other than Jeremy and her two children. She doesn't allow Jeremy to have contact with any of his family. She has no friends.

She doesn't let Jeremy email his mom or text his mom without her being there with him. (I am his step mom.) She won't let Jeremy text or email us. She keeps the kids in the apartment when they are not in school. She hasn't spoken to her family in over 12 years. She has had two children and...

Trust cannot be earned if you don't give people a chance.

Help her learn to trust people.

How can I help her?

Do you feel uneasy around hearing people?

I will definitely have to find out if she was picked on when she was little. Our son is deaf and she prefers to only be around him and their children. They socialize very little.

She is very insecure. I hadn't thought about her being picked on as a child. That definitely could be the reason.

It is our daughter-in-law with trust issues. I was just wondering if this really is typical of HOH or deaf people. She worries that people will target them if they find out they are deaf. Does that happen?

Our son and daughter-in-law are deaf. Our daughter-in-law doesn't trust hearing people. She prefers to keep herself and our son isolated - just them and their two children. Jeremy's, our son's, teacher said that often times, deaf people have a hard time trusting hearing people. Jeremy never...
