Dear Annie: Because the cost of cover is so great, I’m a 23-year-old woman living with my kids. Particularly in my relationship with my father, this is causing issues. Since I was 18 years old, at the very least, he has treated me disrespectfully. He disparages my weight, my companions, and the decisions I’ve made in life.
This has led to a condition where the majority of my youth friends have essentially abandoned me. I’m compelled to be around him, so I ca n’t make any new friends. He becomes irate and irritated with me if I object. Is there any tips you may give me since therapy is not an option? — Uncomfortable Dad
Dear Stressful Father: Home abuse can be psychological as well as real. Your parents seems to be verbally abusing you, which is not acceptable. You can find resources to free yourself from this prison on the National Domestic Violence Hotline website at https ://www.thehotline .org.
Dear Annie: My son and daughter-in-law recently welcomed their second child, a young woman following two boys. She is only the next child and our fifth grandchild. I was overjoyed and had a great time selecting kid clothes appropriate for the occasion. I gave my daughter-in-law the items after carefully and lovingly wrapping them. She appeared to be genuinely grateful for the product. However, the baby has not yet been dressed in any of my product clothing.
Time is running out for them to get worn because they were newborn-sized and annual. The issue is that this is depressing me! How do I handle my hurt and sorrow thoughts? I realize that this must sound silly, but I’m trying to hold back from telling her that the girl is n’t wearing any of my products. Would I simply need to mature? Grandma is unhappy.
Try to consider where your son and daughter-in-law are in their life, Dear Sad Grandma. I know how hurt you are. Being the mother of three young children can be very challenging and busy, so I’m sure it was n’t on purpose if your daughter-in-law did not put the dress on your new daughter. To find out if they actually liked the clothing, you may ask your son. If your child decides to outfit your toddler granddaughter in her new clothes, you could also ask him to take a picture of her wearing them.
But keep in mind that it’s not about the attire; rather, it has to do with the affection and relationship you have for your grandchild. Therefore, pay a visit and cuddle up to your fresh daughter while she is dressed. I can assure you that the infant only knows like and not clothing. And a granny’s passion is more precious than anything money can buy.
