US EditionDear Abby: My Friend Acts Like a Wicked Stepmother to a Teen in Her Home
- Sandra and her husband live with their 4-year-old son and his 14-year-old son from a previous marriage, who faces harsh treatment at home.
- Sandra makes the 14-year-old do all the housework, belittles him constantly, and openly dislikes both him and his mother, while her husband supports her.
- The boy's mother has him on weekends, but the father has custody and shows little concern for improving his son's difficult, Cinderella-like life.
- An advice columnist urges researching alternative living arrangements for the boy, considering child protective services only as a last resort, stating "SOMEBODY has to intervene for that boy."
- The author wants to address the boy's mistreatment but fears losing friendship with Sandra while trying to maintain family ties and advocating for the boy's welfare.
