Dear Abby: My best friend is Pat, and I live on the opposite sides of the country. I am very concerned about the daughter of Pat and granddaughter, Mandy. Son -in -law Pat orally an insult. He calls the names of his daughter Pat and tells Mandy that his mother is bad. Mandy is only 3 years old, and she already knows that she should be sweet with dad so that he does not scream at his mother.

The daughter of Pat refuses to leave her marriage until Mandy becomes older, so as not to confuse her. I know that this is terrible for the child and will make her bad memories all her life. I am also afraid that the son -in -law Pat ultimately causes physical harm to Mandy. Should I try to convince my friend to encourage her daughter to leave as soon as possible? Or do I need to step back and engage in my own business?

My friend Pat is determined to avoid this, and I am very worried about everyone. – Concerned in the east
Dear concerned: The son -in -law Pat practices parental alienation, and they are not even divorced. Making the inevitable makes Mandy No Destors. She is at an impressive age, and the attitude that the little girl forms can stay with her until the end of her life if she does not receive help. I do not blame you for anxiety.

Talk to Pat and offer her that she is no longer silent. Verbal insults can easily develop to physical violence, and time to draw a line now. If you need to transfer this information, the phone number for the national hotline of violence in the family is 800-799-7233. Someone there can say PET or her daughter, how to form a safe escape plan.

Dear Abby: My husband and I lived in the same city as his parents and sisters. We became very close, gathered together several times a week. One of his sisters was my best friend. From the work we had to move in about four hours. Since then, we felt more and more isolated. I tried to call weekly, visit often and send gifts for every holiday.

About a year later, I realized that we initiated all the contact and tried a small experiment. We stopped calling them. It took more than eight weeks to contact us. His mother calls her other brothers and sisters who live in other places every week, but not us. We visit them several times a year, but they never visited us, despite the invitations to this. My husband is busy with work, and although it hurts him, he can forget about it. Although now I live closer to my own family, I mourn the loss of my friends and his family and feel disappointment that they do not care about us, in a visible one, taking care of other family members anymore. Any advice? – Thrown and lonely
Dear lonely: It seems that you have too much free time in your hands. You cannot change the behavior of these people. Instead of thinking, stop dwelling on the shortcomings of your relatives and devote your energy to friends in your new community. If you stop looking back and find projects that interest you, you will find like -minded people.
