How can I help my troubled sons but still avoid their bitter rivalry? Ask Ellie

Q:I’m a 64-year-old divorced mother of two sons aged 31 and 33. Their father, an alcoholic, passed away when the boys were 13 and 15.

Their relationship has been rocky for five to seven years. The younger son offered an ultimatum to the older: “buy me out, or I’ll buy you out, or we’ll sell it on the open market.” Though they’re adults, the guidance of two caring mother figures should’ve been a remarkable support.Continue with your own counselling if it helps. Also, assert your own belief that it’s the brothers who have yet to become comfortable with who they are as individuals, and that’s what divides them now.
