HOA's rules may make for a scary Halloween

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

What do you think? Do I need to see a therapist?

-- Photophobic

Dear Photophobic: Deactivating your Facebook account should be seen as a sign of mental health -- not the opposite.

This is not a cry for help on your part, but a perfectly legitimate choice.

Dear Amy: "Disconnected Father" reported that his teenage son had rejected him because he corrected the boy on his foul language.

For a father who wants to be "connected" to his 17-year-old son, he sure isn't working very hard.

 

If my son decided to drop me from his life I'd spend every weekend necessary at the kid's door.

-- Rad Dad

Dear Dad: "Disconnected" was making some efforts, but he seemed stuck on the original incident. I agree with you that he should try harder to connect.
