Dear Abby: Long-suffering wife and mother is ready to move on

A 76‑year‑old retired woman wrote to Dear Abby for help. She lives with her 75‑year‑old husband and her 32‑year‑old daughter, who has OCD, refuses medication, and depends on her mother for transportation and emotional support. The daughter yells, insults her mother, and the police have been called before. The daughter recently got into a college program for a second master’s degree and wants her mother’s help.
