A recent letter to Dear Abby highlighted a father’s concern for his daughter, who attempted suicide and is now staying with her parents after her fiance and his family reacted harshly to the situation. The father advised his daughter to end the engagement and never see her fiance or his family again, as they had shown their true colors by abandoning her in her time of need. Dear Abby advised the father to support his daughter by encouraging her to seek counseling to address the issues that led to the suicide attempt.
In another letter, a wife expressed her frustration with her husband’s addiction to alcohol and smoking, despite health concerns. After years of pleading with him to quit, she is considering leaving the house to live with her daughter in order to enjoy her remaining years. Dear Abby suggested that the wife join a support group for families of addicts and take care of herself, as watching her husband self-destruct is emotionally draining.
