When my son went through a mid-life crisis, you helped me support him

DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my son went through a mid-life crisis, getting tattoos and saying he was going to divorce his lovely wife, I wrote to you in despair.

I couldn’t bear to watch him sabotage his whole life, but felt powerless to stop him. 

He and his wife are both 45 and have a 15-year-old daughter. 

They were happily married but my son has always found it hard to stick at jobs, always doing new courses and starting, then dropping, career plans.
