Dear Dáithí: I'm losing my son to a controlling girlfriend
Dear Dáithí: 'My grandchildren live overseas, and my heart is broken from missing them'
"I do think it's time to have a chat as a family, because the family are scattered all over - ye could put a plan together that sometimes they visit you at different times of the year. This will give you time with all the different people, especially the children."

"She has him eating well, working out and off the drink. I think you should ask him how he is feeling these days."
