NewzDear Abby: I am a retired executive chef, divorced for many years with three adult children. My son was also an executive chef, but no longer. He stays drunk when not at his job, and he says cruel and nasty things to all family members.
His older sister has written him off because of all the hurtful things he has said about her and her family. He calls me when he is drunk and wants to talk about cooking, though he hates it. He doesn’t listen to me at all and just goes on and on.
His mother passed three years ago, and he has never gotten over it.
