On this episode of The Dr. Cloud Show:   Question: My husband and I are struggling in our relationship with his mother. When we put small boundaries in place, she gets upset and reacts with passive aggressiveness and tries to make us feel guilty. How do we create a healthy relationship with her?   Question: What are some good questions you can ask someone on a first date to really get to know their character?   Question: I struggle with letting my 23-year-old daughter face possible consequences. I think she has mental health issues and a drug problem. She calls crying when the bottom falls out. How do I "let go and let God?"   Question: As I get older, I find that my circle of friends is getting smaller and it becomes more difficult to make new friends. If I do make new friends, are there things I can look for in a person to know that they're going to be a good long-term friend?   Claire is close to her parents and puts their advice higher than anyone else's.
