My joblessson-in-law behaves like ten-year-old child and puts my daughter down all the time
DEAR DEIDRE: MY son-in-law behaves like a ten-year-old child even though he’s in his 30s.
My daughter and her husband have been married for five years and share a beautiful daughter.
At first, I thought he was the perfect man for her, but now I wish they would get divorced.
All he does all day is watch football and sit on the sofa. He doesn’t have a job.
Whenever my daughter, 31, goes out, he calls her every 30 minutes, demanding to know where she is and with whom.
She barely sees her friends as it’s easier than dealing with him.

My daughter has tried to speak with him about his behaviour, but he blames ADHD, which he hasn’t been diagnosed with.
He puts her down all the time.
How can I help my daughter, who is struggling?
DEIDRE SAYS: Your daughter’s husband is controlling her.
Give her my pack Abusive Partner, which explains more.
Either she should leave him or he needs to get help so they can have a healthy relationship.
