Dear Care and Feeding: How do you tell the most stubborn person in the world that what she plans to do just isn’t right?
A close friend made the disastrous decision a year ago to move from one coast to the other to be near her adult son, who had chosen to stay in the city where he’d gone to college. The two of them—I’ll call them Susan and Harry—had always been super close and I know how hard it was on her when he decided to go away to school so far from home. The whole four years, though, Harry called her nearly every day, and sometimes more than once a day.
After silence from her for months , she’s suddenly calling and texting me again. She’s miserable. She hates her new job. She’s having trouble making friends. And Harry, predictably, doesn’t want to hang out with her—he’s too busy with his own life, with friends and his first-ever girlfriend and a job he likes, etc. Now Susan regrets the move. She’s angry with Harry and angry at herself and generally feels stupid and hopeless and stuck, she says.
