Womans living arrangement leaves her feeling trapped DEAR ABBY: I live with my longtime boyfriend, “George," and his 88-year- old father, “Frank." Frank is not your average 88-year- old. He does almost every thing anyone in their 60s would do. However, he’s used to us having dinner for him at the same time every night because he’s very reg imented about everything. Frank gets everything taken care of and never has to worry about a thing. He pretty much keeps to him self. We have a coffee machine that’s easy to use, but Frank expects to have his coffee at a specific time as well. He refuses to even try to make it himself, which means we can't sleep in even if we want to (we are retired). I hate that Frank lives with us because it has caused a lot of problems between George and me. I feel trapped. If I have a dis agreement with Frank, George takes his father’s side, even when he’s wrong. We cannot financially have Frank in his own place, either. I own a third of our house (no mortgage). All three of us depend on our Social Security for household expenses, and Frank pays the insurance on the cars. I just feel that as much as I do for them, I should get some backup. Please let me know your thoughts. — FEEFING USED IN FFORIDA DEAR FEELING USED: If you haven’t told George how trapped and unhappy you feel, you should. If you are the maid, cook and laun dress, perhaps it's time he assumed responsibility for his father. Suggest he invest in an automatic coffeemaker that can be set for a specific time the night before Frank’s morning coffee is expected. That way you can sleep in if you wish. From your letter, it’s clear to me your problems with the men in your life go beyond coffee duty. If you are truly unhappy with this arrangement (which, pre dictably, won’t last forever), consider consulting an attor ney or a financial adviser about how to access the I DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips money you have invested in that house so you can live independently. DEAR ABBY: My wife and I had an excellent rela tionship that involved a lot of partying. After I was injured on the job, I became addicted to painkillers, which resulted in a 20-year battle with addiction. Over the years of trying unsuc cessfully to get sober, I asked my wife to slow down her drinking to help me get sober. She refused and, ultimately, our mar riage fell apart. We decided to stay together until our kids were out of school and, wouldn’t you know, no sooner did we separate than I was able to get sober. I know it wasn’t her fault I was addicted. I think I'm probably better off getting divorced, but I still love her, and I’m curi ous if you think we should end it or give it another try. — SOBER GUY IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR SOBER GUY: To drink or not to drink is a choice. If your wife was unwilling to sacrifice imbib ing in order to help you overcome your addiction, you were right to separate from her. Congratulations on your sobriety. If you wish to maintain it, follow through with that divorce. You have my sympathy. I hope you find someone more supportive in years to come.
