Reader gets involved in mom and grandma’s fight

DEAR HARRIETTE: My mom has always had a troubled relationship with my grandmother, primarily due to growing up in poverty, surrounded by so much uncertainty. Due to her upbringing, my mom vowed to provide her children with a better life than what she had. After high school, my mom left home and became the first one in her family to obtain a college degree, and she married my father, who is from an upper-middle- class family. Lately, there has been even more tension between my mom and grandmother, with my grandmother believing my mom thinks she’s better than the rest of the family since she has a degree, career and house in the suburbs.
