| 2009-10-28 | Michele McMullen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I think what the expert had to say was right on and I guess I new but needed some re-assurance that I was doing or not doing the right thing and I guess that I am and will stick with what the expert says....thank you so much we needed outside input. |
| 2009-10-26 | Darcy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | You made a very good point in your answer. The reason for leaving should be for me. I have made that decision and it is for me. I can't live with someone who isn't there 100%. He and I have discussed this and he understands that it's best for me to move out. Thank you for your answer, you hit the nail on the head. |
| 2009-10-16 | LeeAnn | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | The only reason I made it my business is because this man has asked me to marry him. So, as I see this unfold I am concerned. I won't consider marrying him with the son in the home nor if he lets his ex wife continue to control him. I agree that he is not teaching his son the right behavior and that is frustrating to watch. I have talked with him but I haven't mentioned that his son will learn how to treat his daughter-in-law and grandchildren the same way. Maybe that will get him to think about setting boundries. Thank you for the help. |
| 2009-10-01 | laurita young | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks. Your advice has been very helpful. I bought a nanny cam too.:) |

| 2009-09-21 | Manju | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Mr Keller. I really appreciate the time you have taken to read my request for help and for providing sound advice. Your email has helped confirm for me what I had intuitively felt. We live in Australia where the legal drinking age is 18 rather than 21 like in the US. What he did is illegal even here of course. And the fact that the parents allowed minors to drink meant that their actions were illegal. I will have a conversation with them and ask them for an explanation. I will take my son in to see a psychologist for counselling. Thanks once again. Regards Manju |

| 2008-12-16 | christen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | M. Kay Keller, thank you so much for your information. to let you no my parents charged me with unruly because they dont like my boyfriend and they dont want me with him. this has been going on for 2 years and i am finally 18 and me n him just want to finally be together. it is just frustrating to me to have to sit here and wait to be with someone just because my parents dont like him. but that is the reason that they charged me with unruly. but what if my parents asked for like a rule over me till i graduate, does that kinda mean that i have to wait till may to do what i want and be with him? thank you again for the advice!

| 2008-11-30 | EP Sarin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much for your advice. I am going to get help immediately. You confirmed what I had an inclination to do and I appreciate that. Ed Sarin |
| 2008-11-30 | CEE | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow! I had an "Ah-ha! " moment ! You hit the nail right on the head ! Thanks . I actually feel "Lighter" with my new knowledge knowing that I am going to do exactly what you said . " Get out the middle of them " and mind my own relationship with my son! Thank you , thank you .You know sometime you know something or heard something , but just one day somebody just say it again or confirm you thoughts and then right on that moment you "get it " . That is a good feeling . Thank you. |

| 2008-11-14 | Rachel | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much for your comments, I strongly agree with what has been said and realise that my brother is his own person. I will pass this on to my parents and hope they will take your comments on board. |

| 2008-11-13 | Katerina | 9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2008-11-05 | Jane | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for the quick feedback and suggestions! I will follow your advise and speak with him- try to get in the loop, so to speak. I agree, his behaviour could be driven by attention seeking motivations. I am currently in University and am in the middle of heavy exams. Perhaps I am focusing too much attention on my own school work and not enough on what's going on with my son. When he arrived home yesterday, I calmly spoke with him about his choices ( skipping the afternoon).We had a very good talk, he regrets his actions and has accepted responsibility for it. I will continue to keep the lines of communication open. |
| 2008-11-04 | Kim Lee Hang | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Kay I kinda knew that this was not a appropriate situation. But I never would have guessed that it was against the law.There wasn't anything sexual in which she was doing. I will advise her to stop doing it now.Thanks again, Kim |
