In today's "Dear Margo":

I think Margo missed some clues here....................

One of the letter writers described incidents where the privacy of her journal was violated by a former stepmother and Margo made no comment?!?!?!?!?  No acknowledgement, NOTHING!

Did anyone see a recent case on Judge Judy where two co-plaintiffs were attempting to sue the mother of one of them for supposed "loans" and car insurance?

Given the description that the child's mother may be abusing drugs again, I've seen no mention of the possibility that the MOTHER might be TAKING THE CHILD'S ADHD MEDS and ABUSING her daughter's meds, preventing the child from having proper treatment.  I see too many possibilities here.....all of them BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't handle these columnists' SO-brief and shallow advice sometimes.
Cary Tennis really does it for me, and Carolyn Hax...

hugs

Sometimes I wonder if the columnists are pulling their so-called "advice" out of a fortune cookie........

The advice columnists are OUT OF TOUCH!!!!  Those of us who have dealt with alcoholism with family members could have given BETTER advice!
