Dear Abby gives advice to a woman who is at odds with her partner’s elderly mother.
I admire your wit and appreciate your candor, which is why I’m writing to you. I’ve been dating a man for 4 1/2 years. He’s 56; I’m 60. I hope for a life with him, marriage, a place of our own, etc.
I even moved into his parents’ home with the three of them, as I am a certified home care aide, but his mother was impossible. Dear Abby: My friends are upset that I called the police on their suicidal daughter — should I have intervened?Dear Abby: My dad disowned me from the family after suggesting therapy — what should I do?
LONG story short: I don’t know if I can wait much longer for the life with him I want. Who knows how long this will go on. I’m losing faith it will ever work out. What do you advise?That he allowed his controlling mother to “turn you out of the house with no notice” and couldn’t find the courage to enlighten her that if you left, he would be out of there, too, should have been the wake-up call you needed to move on.
