Ask uncle Issa Questions: I have been in a relationship on and off with a married man for 10 years. We even have a six-year son but he has only seen the boy about five times. When he feels like, he sends KS. 5000 which could be after three months. Apart from that, he has never done anything for the baby, and even did not pay the local clinic when I delivered.

He goes to the local public school in my estate because I cannot afford to take him to a private academy.  His children by his wife on the other hand, attend expensive private school. I have tried to at least get help from him with schoo...

Question:  How do I handle someone who constantly gives unsolicited advice? He is a self-appointed life coach who dishes out advice like a malfunctioning ATM. When he saw the car I acquired on loan, he advised me on the car that I should have bought.
