Dear Queenie,
My parents are having problems in their marriage and my mother is constantly complaining to me about it and asking my advice.
I don’t want to get caught between them and I’m certainly not qualified to give marriage advice.
Queenie, how can I help my mother?—Worried daughter
Dear Daughter,
Tell your mother what you have told me – that you are not qualified to be her marriage counsellor and she needs to see a professional.
Before you have this conversation, consult Safe Haven ((office tel. 9277) or the Women’s Desk (Hope Estate Road #4, Upper Prince’s Quarter, tel. 542-7940, 520-1145, or 520-1146) for referrals you can pass on to your mother.
