Ann: 我和我的姐妹们都觉得我妈妈被一个年轻的朋友占便宜了。这个朋友经常以生病或需要帮助为由打电话给我妈妈,这让我们非常担心。我未经妈妈的允许就给这个朋友发了短信,这让她非常生气。我知道我不应该发短信,但我已经和我妈妈谈过了,而且我不愿意和这个人谈。我不认为这个人是个好人,所以我很烦我妈妈和她做朋友。 Grace: 我不觉得这个年轻的朋友像我的女儿,她只是一个朋友。我的生活和她很不一样,我很有钱,不缺任何东西,而她需要一些物质上的东西。我帮助她是因为我觉得我可以帮助那些不如我幸福的人。我认为女儿发的短信不合适,因为它与问题不符。 Dr. Laura: 安,你给妈妈的朋友发短信是非常不合适的。如果你认为你妈妈没有能力思考和做决定,你需要通过法律途径来证明并接管控制权。如果她有理智,她可以随心所欲地支配她的钱、她的时间和她的精力。你女儿很沮丧,因为你没有听她的。你女儿认为这对你不好,对你和女儿的关系不好。每个人都喜欢被需要,而81岁的你就是这样做的。
