What else should I do if my husband of 16yrs had an affair, and nothing we’ve done has helped? How do I continue to try with my father when he doesn’t reciprocate when I pursue a relationship with him? Comment: I wanted to let your previous caller know that praying a blessing over my dad was a turning point for me before he passed away. My wife had COVID and got better. But my drinking got worse, and I’ve thought about taking my life.
