Daughter won’t work or take meds and controls retired mother’s life
A nearly 76-year-old woman says her 32-year-old daughter, who has untreated OCD, won’t work, refuses medication and has become dependent and controlling — while her 75-year-old husband reportedly leaves home daily and is cheating.
Dear Abby: I am living in total dysfunction with my daughter (32) and husband (75). I am retired and going on 76. My daughter will not work and is controlling my life. She has OCD and refuses medication. It’s so bad that she has become completely dependent on me. She makes me drive her and yells at me while I do. If she doesn’t get her way, she yells and calls me horrible names. The police have been called to the house in the past, but it only made things worse for me.
