Ask Amy: Ex-boyfriend’s persistence wears thin
All the actors in this drama are long dead.
I have no idea whether my cousin has figured this out, but I think this is truly a situation to let sleeping dogs lie.
– Know Too Much
Dear Know Too Much: I’m with you.
We’ll see how readers respond to this DNA dilemma.
Dear Amy: Thank you for your response to “Harassed Mom,” who was sexually harassed as a teen by her parents’ friend, “Roger.”
I appreciated that you advised this mother to be extremely frank about this with her own teen daughter, and to also confront Roger.
I endured this silently when I was a teen, much to my regret.
– Been There
Dear Been There: It’s important that we as a society continue to encourage our children to report these violations, although the reasons for remaining silent are often complex.
