DEAR DEIDRE: MY daughter attracts only dodgy men and I’m the one who sorts out the mess.
I wouldn’t be quite so invested if it wasn’t for my granddaughter.
I help care for her, as my daughter’s a single mum.
My daughter’s 33, I’m her 61-year-old dad and my granddaughter’s four.
My daughter’s relationship with the father of her child didn’t last but since then she has just gone from bad to worse.
She picks liars, cheats, gaslighters and losers. I want my daughter to be happy but she can’t seem to find someone who can give her the life she wants, needs and deserves.

She works hard and has a lovely home.
The men she meets always want to move in and are the type who need “fixing” – they never seem to want to help her.
I can’t watch her and my grand-daughter keep on getting hurt.

DEIDRE SAYS: As parents, we want the best for our children, even as adults.
When your daughter dates the wrong type of guy, as her father you’re going to have strong feelings about it.
But you can’t control her choices, so focus your efforts on your grand-daughter’s needs.
Your daughter needs to know you love her, no matter what happens, and that you are there for her when her relationships go wrong.
My support pack Finding The Right Partner For You explains why these problems can happen.
Do pass on a copy to her if you think it will help.
