Dear Amy: He says he’s their father and he needs to approach them for their health’s sake.
Dear Amy: I have a 49-year-old daughter who is an elementary school teacher. She became an alcoholic during Covid. She has a master’s degree, a beautiful home, and a partner of nine years.Her father died from cirrhosis of the liver due to alcoholism at 57, and I’m scared I will lose her, too.Dear Scared: Your daughter is aware of the worst-case outcome if her addiction spirals, untreated, and if she is unable to attain and maintain sobriety.
I too have had a weight problem and have slowly lost 50 pounds over the past 10 years. I’ve been hoping to lead by example.But he says he’s their father and he needs to approach them for their health’s sake. What do you think?Dear Wondering: My standard reaction to this sort of question is always the same: Does your husband imagine that his adult daughters don’t know that they are overweight?
This is a tough topic to bring up, but if your husband can do so in a loving, supportive and non-judgmental way, he could try.
