Please let me help!

I have a son who is a 37 years old divorcee. I'm trying to share my opinion with him to help him look at all facets of his situation but he won't let me help. I divorced his dad because he was threatening and abusing me. My son is a good father and wants to do the best he can for his children. He recently quit his job as a teacher to do Real Estate full time. I'm constantly concerned that he will have financial issues I can't help him with. His dad is a millionaire but he doesn't help his children in any way. My son seems to think I'm pestering him and that my opinion has little value. How do I compose myself and keep our relationship growing and fruitful.

Hi there you are being a good mother to your son he just doesnt how much yet! I wish I could crab him and shake some sense into him I lost my mother several years ago I think about her everyday is you son going to wait till its to late to be a good son! I would however say maybe the best thing to do is to give advice were you can but try not to let any problems you think he has I think he will approach you in due time! Maybe his change of career is a good one but try and keep that at arms length from your mother - son relationship! I truelly wish you all the best david 🐇
