Ask Amy: #Metoo movement inspires big question
If this man physically abused you, you should check your state’s statute of limitations regarding the option of reporting him to the police.
You should also contact a lawyer and discuss the option of suing him for whatever damage this relationship might have done to your career, as well as the physical and subsequent emotional distress you’re experiencing now.
Discuss all of these options with a counselor in order to make decisions that benefit you, enable you to heal, and help you to move on.
Dear Amy: My daughter is getting married and I want to know the etiquette behind the bridal shower. Who is supposed to host it?
My daughter and her fiancé agreed to have me host a shower.
They also said the groom’s mom had too much going on with her own marriage right now to participate in the planning.
I sent out the invites with just my name as hosting the shower and I got a very nasty text from the groom’s mother saying that she has never seen a situation where only the bride’s mom was hosting the shower and that she was insulted.
I apologized, but she never responded.
She also never offered to help pay for the shower, or even help out.
This is my last daughter getting married and I feel honored to do this for her.
