DEAR HOLIDAY, I HAVE A DAUGHTER BORN 3/9/84 (HOUSTON) AT AGE 24, YOU'D THINK SHE WOULD MAKE GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT HER FUTURE AS SHE WAS AN OUTSTANDING STUDENT AND SPORTS PLAYER. SHE DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE THE FIRST SEMESTER TO LIVE WITH A GUY (1/7/82 HOUSTON) AND IS STILL WITH HIM. SHE WORKS AT A POPULAR COFFEE SHOP AND ACTS AS THOUGH THAT IS THE BEST SHE CAN DO. IT IS BACK BREAKING WORK AND KEEPS HER OFF BALANCE WITH THE ODD/IRREGULAR HOURS SHE WORKS. WITHOUT A DEGREE SHE CAN NOT ADVANCE WITH THE COMPANY. SHE HAD WORKED FOR A LARGE COMPUTER (tech) COMPANY PREVIOUSLY AND RECEIVED AWARDS FOR HER KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CUSTOMERS. THE GUY DOES NOT SUPPORT HER IN ANY WAY AND I KNOW HE IS PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE TO HER. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT SHE IS AN ALCOHOLIC AS HER FATHER DIED OF ALCOHOLISM. SHE HAS NOT LISTENED TO MY ADVICE FOR A LONG TIME. IN HER EARLIER YEARS IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCIPLINE HER AS SHE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND HER TEACHERS WISHED FOR 30 MORE STUDENTS LIKE HER. SHE WAS SELF DISCIPLINED. HER BOYFRIEND'S MOTHER AND BOYFRIEND HAVE BEEN VERBALLY CRUELLY TO HER, WHICH I ONLY RECENTLY LEARNED. THEY ARE EXTREMELY WEALTHY AND I AM AFRAID THAT SHE PUTS UP WITH THE BEHAVIOR BECAUSE THE MOTHER RESCUES (MONEY) HER SON WHENEVER HE IS IN TROUBLE...(HIS FATHER IS OUT OF THE PICTURE) WHICH IS OFTEN. I DIDN'T REAR MY DAUGHTER TO BE SUBSERVIENT. PLEASE CAN YOU TELL MY WHAT IS IN HER HOROSCOPE THAT MAKES HER BEHAVE THIS WAY? IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SHE WILL GET TIRED OF THIS FOOLISHNESS AND MOVE ON TO SOMEONE MORE DESERVING OF HER OR A DESCENT JOB, ONE THAT WILL SUPPORT HER? HER BLOOM OF YOUTHFUL BEAUTY IS FADING AS SHE SEEMS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR BOTH THEIR LIVES AND IT SHOWS. ADVICE PLEASE. THANK YOU, SANDRA
