Job seeker needs a little help from his friends
I'd love feedback from you and other readers.
-- Reluctant Wedding Guest
Dear Reluctant: "Mounting resentment" is not the ideal emotion to feel in anticipation of a family wedding. Yes, you are correct that the couple is under no obligation to entertain you. It sounds as if you should respond with your "regrets," understanding that you might be kicking yourself later.
Dear Amy: Thank you many times over for publishing a question from an abused husband ("Who Am I?"). I appreciate your sensitivity, without equivocating, to the man's suffering.
As someone who has volunteered in the field of men's issues (including domestic violence) for many years, I appreciate you shining a light on this issue.
-- Jim
Dear Jim: Thank you for your advocacy. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) is available to anyone whose life is impacted by partner abuse or violence.
