Dear Queenie,
About a year ago I had a big argument with my daughter who was thinking of walking out on her husband after they had been married only a few weeks. I tried to make her understand that marriage is a big commitment and she shouldn’t give up on it so soon, but the argument got worse and started to be about other problems between the two of us.
They did stay together and recently they celebrated their anniversary, but my daughter hasn’t spoken to me since our argument and after a while I stopped trying to contact her in any way – phone, texts, emails, whatever.
Her husband, my son-in-law, stays in touch with me and he has tried to get her to contact me but she just won’t do it.
Queenie, how can I get her to reconcile with me? I miss her so much.—Sad father
Dear Father,
Apparently your daughter is rather immature and tends to make hasty decisions.
Send her a letter or an email saying how sorry you are for anything you said that hurt her and that you hope she can forgive you someday.
And be glad her husband stays in touch with you.
