Advice for Ruby Cathy By Nicholas Fisher

Dear Ruby,

I am sorry to hear about your situation at home, it seems that it is not healthy for any one of you guys. First of all I think that the fact of your mother passing has a great deal to do with the situation. I think that your sister is very confused and distraught, as is your father. Neither of these two seem to know how to deal with their feelings. Your father seems to be unable to deal with the flux of the emotion that comes with the loss of a loved one and for sister seems to see your father as a cold, tyrannical man and she is rebelling because she knows no other way to voice her opinion and get your father's attention. I would just get the two of them to talk it out and establish a connection which they can build off of. Please write me back and let me know how this worked.

Thanks,

Nicholas Fisher
