Dear Abby: My mom and stepdad (“Hugh”) are divorcing after 20 years of marriage. Mom has been involved with scammers for the last two years, giving away money and her Social Security number. I no longer talk to her because of this. She actually expected me to drive her places to meet these men and lend them her money!

We text each other good morning and goodnight. Hugh doesn’t have children, and my birth father is in Ohio, so I don’t see him often.

My husband and I, after many, many years, still share a wonderful bond. But in retirement, I've realized we drink too much. My husband adamantly denies it and won't consider therapy. What can I do moving forward?
