Dear Molly Mayfield and the Weary Mother Tale
Advice column provides responses to two readers. A weary mother grieving her son’s polio death confronts judgment from her ex husband, while a woman seeks guidance about a boyfriend’s mother’s disapproval and a young man asks how to win over his partner’s wary parent. The counselor attributes fault to the husband, endorses the mother’s actions, and urges self care. The second case endorses confronting the disapproving mother and improving oneself, while the third case suggests addressing the issue directly with the son.
