Dear Abby: Mother wants nothing to do with son’s new flame
- A concerned mother is seeking advice from Abby regarding her son's recent life changes since meeting Carlene three months ago, when he reportedly began drinking and using drugs.
- Seven months ago, the son filed for divorce from his wife of 22 years; Carlene has five children with three different men and retains custody of only two.
- The son was recently fired from his job after 17 years, and the mother expressed concern that Carlene's children exhibit bad behavior never corrected by their mother.
- Seeking to reject Carlene and her children, the mother asked Abby how to voice her disapproval, but Abby advised against directly proclaiming Carlene is the son's downfall.
- Instead of confrontation, Abby suggested the mother simply become "less and less available" to her son, hoping this behavior sends a message if he sobers up.
