The letter discusses a stepmother's concerns about her stepdaughter Amelia, who, after two years in her care, has changed significantly. As Amelia approaches graduation, she plans to move in with her boyfriend and is skipping school, which worries the stepmother, especially as similar rules were enforced for her other children. The husband fears confronting Amelia might lead to estrangement, suggesting a softer approach may be needed. The advice emphasizes the importance of education and open communication about the potential consequences of Amelia's decisions.
Your husband may fear that Amelia is too headstrong to be reasoned with and worry that if he asserts himself, his daughter will become estranged.
Amelia is old enough to be talked with 'woman to woman.' If you can impress upon her that you and her father care only about her welfare, perhaps she will be more open to hearing your message.
