Ask Amy: Son-in-law values softball over family
Dear Upset: Your daughter has important reasons to get a mammogram – after all, she has a family history of cancer (through her father’s side).
This family history is also why she avoids testing.
You may not comprehend the fear she feels. But she does not know the incredible feeling of relief she will feel when she gets a clean scan.
It takes 10 minutes and then boom – you’re good!
Ask her if she would be willing to have you make the appointment for her and then take her to it. Stress to her the weight lifted off and the relief she will feel afterward.
Dear Amy: Your response to “Hands Off” was woefully inadequate.
Her friend’s “handsy” husband kissed her without her consent.
If this happens again, a swift kick to the groin is called for.
– Get Real
Dear Real: A swift kick might be called for, but I believe there are less violent ways to handle this appropriately.
