Dear Queenie,
I’m 15 and my mother has a new boyfriend that she goes out with a lot and sometimes stays over with him and then I stay with my grandmother.
Queenie, I think it’s too soon for her to be doing that. Is there anything I can do?—Neglected teenager
Dear Teenager,
Your mother is not likely to listen to anything you or I tell her, so talk to your grandmother and ask her to talk to her daughter, your mother, about what she is doing and how you feel about it. Your mother (hopefully) will listen to what her mother tells her.
