Desperately Seeking Justice

Dear Auntie Greg,

My wife has been electrocuted by 4ft Pimp. What should I do?

Yours,
Shocked of Southampton

Before we start trying to work through your problem we have to consider what the outcome of the ‘electrocution’ was, and whether or not you can channel your inevitable anger into more constructive areas. Ok, my research has told me that there is no proof that 4ft Pimp were responsible – and given this fact it would be so easy for you to take some form of vigilante/mob action due to your own certainty of the cause.

I will be honest; in my role as ‘Auntie Greg’ I haven’t been in the position where I have to provide on advice on subjects which can be shrouded in such extreme violence. I may be calling on an age-old cliché, but I have to say, “Time eases the pain.” If it is possible you should attempt to put your anger behind you, maybe take up a new hobby which will help you to relax after a hard days work (you obviously have a stressful career). I would say to you, take up painting landscapes, pottery or maybe even cross-stitch. I would love to hear back from you to see how you are getting on in a month or so, and in the mean time, my thoughts go with you, and I pray for the future good health of your wife.
