Dear Abby: My estranged husband and grown kids are pulling me apart
Separated 15 years, a mother struggles as her daughter lives with her husband and her son refuses contact after past abuse.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been separated for 15 years. Our two grown children are on the spectrum. For the past two years, our daughter has lived with her father because she wouldn’t agree to be part of the team at my home and abide by the basic rules: Pick up after yourself, take your animal out, flush the toilet, etc.
Now Dad has a girlfriend, and he won’t spend any time with his daughter alone without his girlfriend. He also blames me because his son doesn’t want to have anything to do with him.
