Recovering addict believes
past has ruined the present
DEAR ABBY: I am in
my 60s, single and child
less. I was raised by parents
who had issues, and I
did not have a nurturing
childhood. As a result, for
decades I had a chaotic
life and turned to alcohol
and drugs to soothe my
emotional pain.
I have been drug-free
and sober for many years.
Still, I’m troubled when
I see how abnormal and
dysfunctional my life was
and what I have missed
that normal people get
to enjoy — like marriage,
children and grandchil
dren. My sadness and
loneliness are so over
whelming that some
days I don’t want to get
out of bed. I’m finding
it very hard to discover
a purpose. Any sugges
tions? — WOUNDED IN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR WOUNDED:
You cannot change the
past, but you can certainly
change the future. The first
step should be to consult
a licensed mental health
professional about your
deep depression. With talk
therapy and medication,
you may finally be able to
overcome it. Once you are
stable again, your therapist
may also work with you to
help you decide how to fill
those empty spaces in your
life. Please don’t wait to
reach out.
DEAR ABBY: My son
graduated from high
school and won’t make
a plan. He doesn’t help
with anything around the
house, won’t save money
to buy his own car and
refuses to share our extra
car with his sister. We are
in constant conflict.
I want him to move out.
I want him to be work
ing and saving money if
I’m paying for his room
and board. He sleeps until
noon, works sporadically
and spends his limited
money on pre-workout
supplements, shoes and
guitars. He’s on his phone
playing games in his bed
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
most days until late into
the night. Advice? —
ENOUGH ALREADY IN
VIRGINIA
DEAR ENOUGH: Your
son isn’t making a plan to
become independent be
cause you have been such
a generous parent, he has
no incentive to leave the
nest. Quit letting him use
the extra car and tell him
that unless he starts doing
his fair share around the
house, finds a full-time job
and can prove that he’s sav
ing money, you want him
OUT of there. Then give
him a deadline, and if he
hasn’t shown improvement
by then, follow through.
Sometimes a dose of tough
love is what it takes to get a
message across.
DEAR ABBY: My
husband and I have been
married for 17 years and
live in an older house we
are slowly trying to update
and remodel. One of my
major issues is that every
Sunday he likes to go to
flea markets, where he
spends at least $100 for
“art,” which I might de
scribe as junk. It’s all over
the house we are trying
to fix. How do I get him
to stop wasting money
on this? — UP TO MY
ELBOWS IN ILLINOIS
DEAR UP: There are
flea markets, and then
there are estate sales. They
are not the same thing.
Some real treasures can be
found at estate sales be
cause the sellers (often the
next generation) do not
realize the value of what
they are getting rid of. It
might be worth your while
to ask your husband if the
two of you can go to a few
estate sales together, and
buy only items you both
can agree on. It’s worth a
try.
