Dear Abby: We Are ‘over It’ with Son’s Girlfriend, Who Seems to Have No Energy to Do Anything

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE, JUL 31 – The son's parents have distanced themselves due to the girlfriend’s chronic health issues and limited energy, which has caused estrangement and hurt feelings within the family.

  • A 20-year-old college senior and baseball player plans to propose to his girlfriend of a year and a half at an unspecified date.
  • The girlfriend takes eight daily medications due to complex health problems and recently changed jobs from grocery packing to an ice cream shop because of fatigue.
  • The son's parents do not get along with the girlfriend, who saw a hurtful message on the son's phone, causing her to sever ties with them and refuse involvement.
  • The family feels burdened as the couple expects them to pay for the wedding and car expenses, despite concerns that the son is not yet financially self-sufficient for marriage responsibilities.
  • Advice suggests the parents apologize to the girlfriend to support their son and consider postponing the wedding due to current difficulties and strained relations.
