Dear Abby: My ex has been accused of murder. What do I tell our daughter? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR ABBY: I am writing for advice on how to be supportive of my adult children in light of a crime allegedly committed by their mother. She was arrested for first-degree murder. The victim was my children’s younger half-sibling. I am especially challenged dealing with my daughter. She is supporting her mother in this. She says she has already lost a sibling and doesn’t want to lose her mother too. Their mother was always critical of psychotherapy. Not only did she doubt it, but she criticized a
Dear Abby: My husband has become a grandpa, and I want him back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been with my husband, “Ted,” for nearly 15 years, married for 11. He has two children, 38 and 33, and I have one who is 32. When we started dating, none of our children planned to have children of their own. I made it clear from the start that I have no desire to be a grandma. I’m a teacher and work with kids all day, every day, and that is enough for me. He said he felt the same way. His children now each have two children, while mine has stuck by her decision not to have any. I
Dear Abby: Should I try to take control of my brother’s money? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR ABBY: My mom passed last year. I’m 50, and my brother is 52. He has never been good with money. He’s gullible and lets people take advantage of him. He will not let me help him.

However, I would feel guilty if he mismanaged his money, and I think Mom would want me to help him. DEAR BROTHER’S KEEPER: Please accept my sympathy f
Dear Abby: My daughter is stuck in a cultlike situation and she can’t get a divorce (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR ABBY: I have a daughter, “Imogen,” who has been married for 20 years to her narcissistic and controlling wife, “Brianna.” Imogen’s relationships with me, my husband and her sister have been entirely dictated by Brianna. We’re not allowed in their house; her calls are made from the car; I have not been invited to birthday parties for their two boys; and I’m told not to attend my grandson’s swimming competitions if Brianna is in the building. Two attempts at divorce by Imogen were unsuccessfu
Dear Abby: The bride wants a simple wedding but the mothers have hijacked the plans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR ABBY: My 33-year-old daughter is getting married, and the mothers have taken over her wedding plans. They want more than 200 guests, a full Catholic ceremony, fine wines, a full bar, plated dinner and a live band. My daughter wants to please everyone but is not a practicing Catholic. She wants a small, intimate wedding with twinkling lights, a DJ and house wines from the California vineyard venue. Nothing she suggests is acceptable to the mothers, who see the ceremony as a means to impress
