Woman fears ex-husband has
turned daughter against her
DEAR ABBY: I was married
more than 40 years. My ex
constantly badmouths me
to everyone. He got to our
grown daughter early dur
ing our separation, and it's
clear she has sided with
him. He's am intelligent nar
cissist who manipulates
people and they're not even
aware of it. Our divorce
took three lawyers and cost
me thousands, which was
his intention. Should I open
up to my daughter and try
to get her to understand
why I can't be around him?
I don'twantto alienate my
only child. — FREE BUT
NOT TOTALLY HAPPY
DEAR FREE: If you were
married to your husband for
40 years, your daughter is
no longer a child. Do not
attempt to diminish her
opinion of her father —
simply explain why you
could no longer stay mar
ried to him. If you can dis
cuss your divorce with her
and point out specific
examples she may have
noticed in her youth that led
to your divorce, I see no
reason why you shouldn't.
DEAR ABBY: My daughter
and I are both immunocom
promised. I have cancer;
she has asthma and rheu
matoid arthritis. Our doc
tors have advised us to not
gather with crowds. We
didn't attend my niece's
wedding or her baby show
er because nobody was
masked. Now it seems like
we have been forgotten.
We were not invited to holi
day celebrations. My sister-
in-law always sent group
invites to these events, but
we haven't received any.
They haven't even asked us
how we are. We are still
not able to attend, but we
would like to think we are
still welcome. Am I justified
in feeling this way? —
EXCLUDED IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR EXCLUDED: Forthe
time being, you must
accept you won't be able to
mingle with large groups.
However, that doesn't
mean you can't meet with
small groups. To be less at
risk, consider hosting some
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
small get-togethers with
vaccinated friends and rel
atives, and you may not feel
so isolated. But do not
blame folks who know your
circumstances, and whose
invitations you refused, for
removing you from their
guest lists for now.
DEAR ABBY: My crush is in
love with this girl. I love
him, and this girl isn't right
for him. I mean, she's the
jealous type and totally
possessive. She's telling me
she's his "owner," and that
after they get married, his
body and everything about
him is hers. I'm saying no
matter what she says, he
will never be hers.
You can't own a person,
and you really shouldn't be
with someone who's pos
sessive because it means
they're insecure, and it's
not healthy for a relation
ship. She basically tried to
make me jealous. I love him
so much. I want him to be
happy, but I don't think it
should be with her. I need
some advice.—
CRUSHING IN GEORGIA
DEAR CRUSHING: You are
entitled to your opinion, but
as you stated, this guy is in
love with her, not you. She
may act possessive
because she knows you
want him, so she's trying to
establish boundaries. If she
is as insecure as you think,
there will come a point
after which he may begin to
feel smothered. That may
be when you'll finally get
your chance. For now, back
off and sweeten up.
