From law degree to lost

Musical motivation
https://t.co/MkvR1BipIM
I have my heart set on being a composer — so why can’t I concentrate?
You don’t need to be too specific at this stage, says our elder. Explore a musical degree and find your direction later.

My alcoholic dad
https://t.co/mJVEtDEdG7
I pay for everything — but my dad still makes me out to be the villain.
Let’s get one thing straight, says our elder. You don’t owe your dad anything.

It’s my eating disorder, OK?

I beat my eating disorder but my husband’s nagging is putting my recovery at risk.

Am I being childish?
https://t.co/CEeCetI8VF
I fell out with a friend, but my husband still met up with her for business. He should have stuck by me, right?
Sure he should, says our elder. But men can be lacking in sensitivity.

My friend won’t talk to me
https://t.co/Y0RnDZ6fqg
I get that she’s struggling. But I was there for her; why can’t she be there for me? Just let her know you are there for her when she’s ready, says our elder. Being there unobtrusively is the best support.
