When Nothing Can Be Done, Do Nothing.
by Margo Howard
Dear Margo: I am writing about my 24-year-old daughter, "Florence," who's in a four-year relationship I find extremely upsetting. I have spoken with her about my feelings, but I know I am powerless to change her mind. I have been so upset that I feel it has affected my health. (I have been a cancer patient for over two years.)

Dear Margo:We need Help fast. My 30 year old stepdaughters' 50 year old live-in boyfriend sent us an email announcing their engagement, a pending trip to India for Silk, and wanting to know how much her dad was gonna give them for the wedding (of which no date is set). "…would it be 35%, 55% or 95%" he asks but gives no clue about expected total, but could we give it to them now. We have both been unemployed since Novemeber, my husband lost his job while we were trying to have a mobile home put on our property, and we have been living in a 5th wheel ever since. (this is May) It's is also implied that if we don't pay for the wedding we won't be invited. When he called his daughter was sleeping and wouldn't come to the phone. What would your advice be? Father/daughter relations have always been strained but this may take the wedding cake. Do we sell the farm to get invited to this wedding?
Homeless and then some,
Penny
