When independence threatens a marriage
Dear readers, two letters discuss power and money in marriage. A wife resigns to please her husband who uses funds for control and sex as leverage, leading to emotional distress and a call for shared money and respect. A mother warns of a daughter married to a powerful but troubled politician who hides alcoholism and infidelity and urges action to protect self-esteem and grandchildren.
