[ad_1] Dear Amy: My daughter is 36 years old. Her father and I divorced when she was a toddler. He had all the visitation he wanted, and (reluctantly) paid child support. When she was 16, he stopped seeing her because she got her driver’s license and he said that she could drive to see him […]

[ad_1] Dear Amy: I had a fabulous life — a big successful career, handsome husband, and gorgeous kids. I was well-known and acclaimed in my field.

[ad_1] Dear Amy: I am the youngest of three sisters and have always had a rough relationship with my mom and sisters. I don’t fit in. They are all about drama. Recently, I received a call from my dad, asking me to visit. I was so stressed out the night before that I didn’t sleep. […]

[ad_1] Dear Amy: I’ll be a junior in high school in the fall. So far, high school has been bland. The only excitement for me is the fact that I’m going to Japan on a school trip soon. I want to attend an out-of-state college because I want to have a fresh start. I want […]
