READER’S QUESTION: "My boyfriend of a year and I are talking about engagement. He is the oldest of two with divorced parents, and his father died 10 years ago. He takes after his mom and is very close to her. I recognize we both have family stress and dynamics we bring to the table, but I have been praying if or how to address his attachment to his mother.
