Ask Amy: Abuse survivor deserves validation
One day while out for breakfast, we overheard a woman talking about her daughter in college getting married.
Our older daughter asked what we would say if she decided to get married so young. We looked at each other and smiled, knowing this was the right time. After we finished describing my husband’s youthful marriage, we continued to eat.
Our daughters sat there with their forks frozen halfway to their mouths!
It has become a funny family story.

Dear Wife: It always comes as a shock to learn that your parents have a past.
