Ask Amy: Enabling parents look for a way out
Don’t offer to call back. Ask your sister if she could call back when there isn’t so much background noise.
Dear Amy: I applaud your response to "Regretful,” the gentleman who has been divorced from his first wife for many years and wants to apologize.
I wholeheartedly agree with your encouragement regarding this apology.
When my first husband and I had been divorced for 34 years, he called out of the blue and apologized for everything.
I didn't realize I needed to hear that, but I did.
He died very unexpectedly six weeks later. I'm thankful that he passed with a clear heart.
– Judy
Dear Judy: “A clear heart.” That’s what we should all strive for.
