Dear Queenie,
My daughter’s boyfriend is a real loser. He quit school, drinks and smokes too much, doesn’t have a job and tries to control everything she does.
Queenie, why would a girl from a good family choose such a loser? How can we keep her from making a big mistake by sticking with him?—Worried father
Dear Father,
Your daughter may have the idea that she can “fix” what is wrong with this guy.
Do not alienate her by trying to make her choose between him and your family. Hopefully she will eventually get tired of this man’s bad attributes – and if/when that happens, try not to tell her you told her so.
