In two separate letters, advice-seekers discuss challenging personal circumstances. One individual grapples with feelings of helplessness after caring for a wife with mental illness and cancer for 47 years, feeling that their marriage is unsavable. The second seeks guidance on balancing family dynamics, as her husband and brother don't get along, complicating their family's holiday plans. Dear Abby offers insights on weighing personal happiness against familial obligations, emphasizing the importance of seeking a solution that respects both relationships.

I fear shifting my burden to the kids.
