Dear Doug: yet another undiagosed addict wreaks havoc in the life of someone who likely doesn’t have a clue.
Daughter in the dumps because of boyfriend
Dear Doug:
Our talented and beautiful daughter graduated with honors in music. While her peers are finding work as performers, she’s “too upset and depressed” to work because of her boyfriend, with whom she argues all night and over whom she cries all day because of their arguments. He dropped out of college, doesn’t work and lives with and off of his aunt because his mother kicked him out. Now we have our daughter’s student loans, car loan and bills staring us in the face.

Signed,
Concerned about our daughter
