US EditionDear Abby: I Don’t Want My Grieving Teen Son Around His Bad-Boy Cousin
Jason seeks legal help to stop two sisters from exploiting their retired mother's finances, which are now depleted after paying for repairs and loans despite her fixed income.
- Jason, a 17-year-old high school student, has struggled since his brother Seth died a year and a half ago, showing listless behavior and drug use.
- The sister offered for her son Matt, who is the same age as Seth and also underachieving, to stay with Jason as company and a role model.
- Matt smokes pot, sleeps much of the day, plays video games, performs poorly in school, drives while high, and is seen as a negative influence.
- Advisers suggest expressing gratitude to your sister for her good intentions while firmly emphasizing that your son should never be left alone with Cousin Matt, as unsupervised interaction is not advisable.
- No one can replace Seth’s loss for Jason, and keeping Matt away suggests ongoing concern about protecting Jason’s emotional and physical well-being.

DEAR ABBY: I am the oldest son. My problem is, my sisters are taking financial advantage of our mother. Neither of them seems to want to work or be able to hold a full-time job. When Dad was alive, he helped them out by buying them homes, but he never gave them money.
