Ask Amy: Sex offender lives in the neighborhood
Your child’s preschool teachers are a great source of wisdom. Ask for their advice.
Dear Amy: I cried when I read these words in reply to the question from “Scared Mom,” about her daughter’s alcoholism: “ Offer her a judgment-neutral safe harbor so she won’t become isolated, and encourage her to seek treatment without letting her alcoholism become her primary identity in your relationship.”
Thank you!
– Parent of an Alcoholic
Dear Parent: Alcoholism is a family disease; it will consume everyone’s life – if you let it.
