DEAR ABBY: I just attended my son's wedding. He married a wonderful woman, and I couldn't be happier for them. However, I was not acknowledged during their wedding reception, which deeply saddened me.
DEAR ABBY: For my 50th birthday 10 years ago, my father, with whom I have had a tumultuous relationship, gave me cherished rings as gifts. One was my grandmother's and the other was my grandfather's, both of whom are deceased. This was at a time when we were in a good place, and it meant the world to me that he thought enough of me to give them to me. They were the only things I had of his parents.
DEAR ABBY: I ran into a friend at the chiropractor's, and he persuaded me to change my plans and not go to the movies but to join him on a walk on the beach. We set plans to meet by the beach and, as I was approaching the street corner, I saw him not wait for me but cross the street while he was on his phone.
DEAR ABBY: My mother and I have a relationship that isn't healthy. I know that may make me seem like a terrible person, but hear me out.
DEAR ABBY: After 40 years of marriage, I just found out my husband has been having an emotional affair, in addition to an actual lover he had 15 years ago. I forgave him the last time. This time, he has only said he is wrong, but he hasn't offered an apology, nor is he remorseful.
