Ask Amy: Troubled teen’s stealing is the last straw
Or you can use the photo to pivot back to the two of you: “Wow, 19 years old. Where has the time gone?”
Dear Amy: A question from “Loving, but Sad Daughter” bothered me.
She was upset because her mother (her father’s first wife) was not mentioned in her father’s obit.
An ex-spouse is no longer a member of the family. They shouldn’t make it into the obit!
– I’m an Ex
Dear Ex: “Sad Daughter” objected to the fact that by omitting any mention of her father’s first marriage, the obit stated that she was her stepmother’s daughter.
