Ask Amy: Widower worries about dating again
It has been several months now, and she has not paid me yet.
I am considering suing her because I am retired and living on a fixed income. What should I do?
It pains me that I am being treated this way after I was so kind to loan her this money.

Dear Stiffed: Some of the details you offer don’t quite hold together.
If your granddaughter could have paid you back from money in her own account on a Monday, then why did she need this money so urgently before that?
Did she tell you why she needed this large sum, or why her father didn’t loan it to her?
I hope you have some documentation regarding this loan.
Start by asking her – in writing — to repay you.
You could also try asking her father to repay you.
