Well said, Owasco, and well-written, Aisling!
The mom needs a dose of that Mel Robbins best seller, "LET THEM," a book I have not read, but it's all the rage.
Let them go,
Let them be,
Move on...
You have the start of great story here, if you want to keep going with it!
Carol! I'm en route to Mexico to meet Deirdyweirdy! I sure wish you were coming with!
My daughter read that book, Let Them. She found it very helpful in human relations. I haven't read it.

Oh how I'd love to join you and Deirdyweirdy in Mexico!
Looking forward to hearing all about it!
