Dear Queenie,
A friend of mine at college has had several relationships that all turned out badly. She also has some problems with her family.
You are always recommending that someone get professional counselling and I think it would be a good idea for this friend, but I don’t know if I should be the one to tell her that, and if I should, how do I tell her?
Queenie, should I tell her? If so, what should I say?—Worried friend
Dear Friend,
If your friend ever seems to be unhappy with the way her life is going, especially if she actually says so, you will have an opening to make the suggestion. You could even use my column as your source – tell her, “I bet Queenie would tell you to get professional counselling.”
