Z.

Answer: Dear Z.: Your daughter is an adult and she has to handle this or suffer the consequences. You can’t make the decision for her and take over. She is married to a pathological abuser. If she stays there is nothing you can do. It’s her choice. If she has the strength to face up to her mistake, she will open up the chance for her and for her child to move on and seek a normal life with your support and love. You all deserve so much better. Blessings, Luise

About Luise Volta

Luise’s long life has brought her to being the great grandmother of four teenagers. Born in 1927, the miles in between her teens and theirs have been full of falling and getting up, learning and growing and then falling and getting up again. A normal, though not simple, process. She has had diverse careers in nursing, teaching preschool, interior design, Real Estate sales, insurance adjusting and dairy herd testing. She’s lived in the Mid-west, South and West Coast. Luise is married to the love of her life, Val, born in 1911. Their little terrier, “Rosa,” makes most of the major decisions at their house, (or thinks she does).
