A woman writes to Dear Abby seeking advice on how to deal with her husband's daughter, Amber, who she finds manipulative and judgmental. Amber's father, Julian, is overly protective of her due to past guilt, making the situation difficult for the wife.
Julian has two grown daughters, 36 and 27. The older one and I get along famously. The younger, Amber, is somewhat immature.
Because Julian wasn’t there while she was growing up, his guilt makes it especially hard for him to see her for who she is. You are not going to win this battle, so start backing off and find a new direction — or a new boyfriend. Please accept my sympathy.: After I retired and moved to a beach town, I invited my brother and sister-in-law to visit. They said they had a really good time, set up a tentative return visit and seemed appreciative.My brother is also retired but works part time. One of his jobs is with the company of a friend of mine where he had done some work in the past.
