Ask Amy: Friend worries that ghosting might not be enough
Obviously, the people who are closest to you are worried about you. Not only are you engaged to a convicted sex offender – but, even if he was unjustly accused and convicted, he is too arrogant, or irresponsible, to register.
This is why they can’t be happy for you.
Now that your fiancé is behind bars, you will need your friends and family to be in your corner. Please, accept the fact that they cannot endorse this situation. Do your best to rebuild the relationships that have suffered.
Dear Amy: “Furious Stepdad” was upset that various family members would not use his stepson as their real estate broker.
Yikes. Mixing business with family almost never works. I wish you had pointed that out.
– Disappointed
Dear Disappointed: I suggested that this devoted stepfather could help this young real estate broker in other ways, by marketing his business to more receptive clients.
