writes: My son-in-law has placed a problem on me with regard to my daughter not responding in bed. I have no idea how to bridge this as in October she went through a bad bout of depression which ended up in her trying to take her own life. I was under the impression that all was sorted out, now this.How to bring up such a delicate question to her as she has not been herself - again - these last 2 days. I am also scared that she will try to harm herself again. I also am due to go on holiday on 21st and now feel that I am unable to because of their home being in disorder.

Whoa...the last thing you want to do is get mixed up with their sex life. Tell your son-in-law he and your daughter need to have a meeting with a marriage counselor. Stay away from this hot potato, go on your holiday.

I know this is your daughter and you feel responsible that you have to help her.O.k you helped her in the first stages of her depresson and she over come them and now she has gone back again, stop and think is she unhappy with her marriage and that is why she falls into depression.Your daughter and your son-in-law need to talk to a professional who can help them in the right the direction, it is a delicate situation that your daughter may not feel comfortable talking to her mom about. advise you son-in -law to speak to his wife himself and see if a one to one chat won't help matters.You need to go on holiday and enjoy yourself and try and forget your problems back home for a while. Don't make yourself unhappy because if your daughter does want to talk to you then you need to be strong for her.
