Dear Abby: I’m a single parent of two girls. My older, “Becca”, is 17 years old. She has been meeting this guy and, once she graduates, plans to move with her and his two friends. What works to me is that their relationship is pretty toxic. They are always fighting. I was her not to move with her, but she wouldn’t take over.
Becca has some issues of abandonment. Her mother left us when Becca was a child, and my second wife was emotional abusive to everyone before we got divorced. I think that’s why Becca refuses to see how bad her relationship is.
How can I show that she is making a big mistake? I don’t want it to end up stuck in a terrible relationship. I am also concerned about what is pregnant immediately because of them can control them. Please help. – Single dad in Arizona
Dear Dad: After a year of arranging with her boyfriend, Becca can change her thought to move with her as soon as she graduated. (Someone can only hope.) However, if she doesn’t, try to arrive in a compromise with her. Tell her you love it, and your door will always be open if you have to return home.
Ask Becca if she would be ready to start using long -term (reversible) birth control, such as a contraceptive IUD or implant, to ensure that it is protected by an unplanned pregnancy, which can break life its. Your family doctor can explain her options if she is ready. (I’m passing my fingers she sees wisdom.)
Dear Abby: Last year, I gave my dad a delightful hand electrical for his birthday. It was recharged and had a feature that made it function as a lantern. He seemed excited about it and later told me again that he would use it.
Abby, this week, my father gives me electrical hand again to me as a gift. Not only that, he went on and went on how thoughtful he was in the “finding” of this unusual tool for me! He kept asking if I liked it. I said, yes, I thought it was fine, that’s why I gave it last year. He did not seem to understand what I was saying and constantly asked him to tell how I appreciated the gift. I decided not to do a big thing, but I think both of our feelings were hurt.
Is this kind of forgetting a sign of something bigger that I have to worry about? It does a typical elder thing to repeat stories from the good days of Olve, but this kind of complete forgetfulness is new. – Repeated in Washington
Dear Revived: Yes, in addition to repeating stories about “good days ole”, something like that Up to cause for concern. If your mother is still in the picture, mention how the character was your father. Ask if she has noticed any changes. If she has, suggest that when he sees his doctor for his future physique, he is neurologically estimated to be sure that nothing is okay. If he lives alone, discuss this with your sisters and sisters, if you have any, and suggest “someone” to accompany dad to his next medical meeting.
