Dear Queenie,
When I was a teenager my parents got divorced because my father kept getting involved with other women. My mother didn’t make his affairs part of the divorce proceedings, but she told me that was the reason for them breaking up. A couple of years after the divorce my father married one of his other women.
Now my father is in his 80s and he claims that he never knew why my mother wanted to divorce him.
Queenie, I wish he would be more honest about it all!—Disgusted daughter
Dear Daughter,
It is quite possible that, at his age, your father does not remember clearly what happened so long ago. Is he showing any other signs of mental failure? Try to be patient with him.
