How long do I wait before making contact with my estranged daughter?
Long history of sociopathic/split personality disorder – but she’s highly functional. We are raising her 11yr old son. I’m in al-anon and have good support, but want some sort of relationship with her. But only if she’s well! In treatment, counseling etc. Do I continue to wait for her to contact us? It’s been 2 months since we’ve heard from her. She’s 30yrs old. Should we try an intervention? Thank you so much!

Starbucks = no good these days. see http://www.dumpstarbucks.com. Their CEO stated their primary focus as a company isn’t making profits for their shareholders, but rather to see gay marriage become legal. All their resources are about that now. Get coffee at Caribou or someplace else that have their primary focus as profit making.

Wow, this is interesting. Starbucks is too expensive anyway. I usually stick with McDonalds and add my own Hazelnut flavor. Great coffee and very reasonable.

On the caller who wanted to know if it was sinning if they did not have children she & her husband need to make the best decision for THEM…not others. The passage in Genesis was not a command as we know later in Paul’s writings…God told this specifically to Adam & Eve otherwise we would not be here.
Steve mentioned that when he started dating again he wanted someone that could give him biological children. Steve do you think your second wife might have picked up on that in the 20 yrs you were together & how that made her feel when she could not give you a biological child? (not excusing the adultery).
You just lost your father in law at a young age. One cannot go by the fact that their parents lived to an old age so they will too. I only hope Steve you plan financially for your 4 yr old and 18 mo. old since you will soon be 60. Also the generation gap between you and your wife will really become more evident when you grow closer to 70 and she is in her 40′s.
I wonder when someone wants/needs children at a later age in life if they are trying to meet some need…maybe healthy …maybe not. There are exceptions but at this callers age there can be dangers to her and the baby’s health. Hopefully she realize her and her hubby ARE a family now…whether they have kids or not!!!

The Sherri Denham voiceover radio ad has a MAJOR grammatical error. Please be advised that there is no such word as ‘themself”. No such word.
‘Them’ is a plural pronoun; therefore, the correct modifier is a plural one: themselves.
Conversely, one would say ‘himself’ or ‘herself’. ‘Him’ and ‘her’ are singular pronouns; therefore, they take singular modifiers.
New Life, please do the doctor a tremendous favor and correct the ad pronto!
