Ask Amy: Grieving dad struggles to move on
My own interpretation is that you might feel guilty for staying in such an unhealthy relationship for so long. Rewriting the old script (exploring the “unlived life”) might be your mind’s way of trying to prompt an attitude of acceptance and forgiveness toward your younger self. I hope you follow this prompt.
The fact that you are having these dreams every night without resolution is cause for concern. A psychologist could help you to turn the corner and dream differently.
Dear Amy: “Sheltering in Wisconsin” expressed a coronavirus-related concern, and in your answer, you advised her to “wipe” shared handles with disinfectant.
Amy, these disinfectant wipes may not be as useful as you think in containing the virus.
Concerned
Dear Concerned: If I were concerned about transmission from a doorknob, I would open the door using the wipe itself, in order to avoid direct contact.
