Dear Suze Q, I met a nice lady, also in her 50s with exs and grown children. She had a baby carriage in her living room, and I asked if it was for her grandchild. "No," she said. "It's mine for Abigale." Turns out Abby is a "reborn baby" -one of those life-like $2K jobs. I'm pretty flexible so I thought it was just a collections, like refrigerator magnets. Nooo, seems her therapist recommended "grounding her" with a doll to reduce anxiety from her "empty nest." Whatever happened to yoga or Mother's Little Helpers as remedies?
Dear 50, Definitely not your normal therapeutic recommendation to loneliness and anxiety. A few more dates should tell you if you should run away from an extremely needy person; stick around to see where the rabbit hole leads; or join in and relive this calming, alternative world. -SQ
