DEAR ABBY: I would like your help on how to deal with a problem I am having with my mother\u002Din\u002Dlaw.
My son told me he doesn’t know his dad’s family, so it doesn’t bother him they aren’t a part of his life. He hasn’t asked to attend the funeral or asked anything else about his uncle. I don’t think he should go.
Should I let my ex take him so our son can see how many people have chosen not to be a part of his life, or should I refuse? — NOT IN HIS LIFEIf you can resist mentioning your opinion to your son, he may not view meeting his paternal relatives the same way you do. Of one thing I am sure: He should not feel forced to go if he doesn’t want to. I think the answer to your question depends on how old your son is and whether your ex is responsible enough to be trusted with the boy.
We are now watching her becoming overwhelmed by everything in life, not just the house. We are also wondering if some dementia is starting to set in. My sister and I want her to see a counsellor and talk with her doctor, but she’s too overwhelmed to do this either. Can we make an appointment with a counsellor or minister for her? — TRYING TO HELPMake an appointment for her with her doctor, provide the transportation and stay with her if possible.
