Dear Queenie,
My parents are divorced and my mother and I live with her new boyfriend. I don’t like him because he drinks a lot and he gets mean. He’s nice enough when he’s sober, but not when he’s been drinking.
Queenie, should I ask to go live with my dad? What if my mother gets upset?—Unhappy child
Dear Unhappy child,
If your father is willing to have you live with him, go ahead and ask. Your mother’s first concern should be your welfare.
