Dear Suze Q. I’m dating a wonderful woman who’s close to her parents. Her father’s an obnoxious prick who thinks his shit does stink but he smears it everywhere. If we marry, my gal wants me to join her dad’s law firm and we’ll make a comfortable financial life. I’d rather kill myself.
Dear Counsel, Move away and be your own person, not a clone of her daddy. People who think the rules don’t apply to them are an ignorant, arrogant bunch where entitlement is a way of life. The “you owe me” mentality, even though they’ve done nothing to deserve special treatment, often has deep roots in childhood where parents/caregivers reinforce their (falsely believed) superiority over others. It’s a personality trait (permanent) not a state of mind. He won’t change, so you need to. -SQ
