Dear Queenie,
For about a year now my son has refused to have anything to do with our family and most of his old friends. We have tried to stay in touch with him but he never answers our calls or text messages or letters or cards or e-mails.
Queenie, we are all so worried about him. What can we do?—Worried father
Dear Father,
Is it possible that your son has found a new “love interest” who is trying to cut him off from everyone else he loves?
Whatever the reason, you should try to see your son in person to find out what is going on. It may be that he is having a problem that requires medical or psychological treatment.
