Ask Amy: Abuse survivor is afraid to tell parents
-- Broke Bride's Mom
Dear Mom: I suggest that your daughter enjoy her $5,000 (or $4,000, or whatever her father decides to donate) reception.
You can be helpful by finding ways to help your daughter stretch this money the furthest.
Dear Amy: I'm responding to the touching note from "My Son's Mom." Her son had been in trouble, and she wondered about contacting various counselors to let them know that he was graduating from high school.
As a legal services attorney serving justice-involved youth, I want to encourage this mom to share the good news.
I feel such joy when I receive notes about the progress and milestones of the youth I have worked with.
Thank you to the parents and youth who let us know their achievements.
We love making a difference.
-- Patti
Dear Patti: Thank you for doing good work.
