Dear Amy: Because you feel so strongly about this, you should claim your own narrative, using your own words and writing down the story you want others to know. But for now, do this only for yourself.

I don’t think it is wise to publicly note any details about your ex-husband’s crimes, until these crimes are completely settled through the courts and you receive current and competent legal advice directed only to you.

The last thing you want to do is to somehow accidentally ensnare or implicate yourself in the situation you are trying to maintain your distance from.

Your actual friends know you and understand your situation. The people in your former circle who may have “perceptions” about your divorce? Didn’t you leave these perceptions behind when you left your previous life behind? Because the fact is, you did leave the marriage in order to protect your own interests. And – good for you.

Dear Amy: My godson is getting married soon and since he and his fiancée live in a small apartment, they are not listed on any bridal registry.

However on their wedding website, they suggest that if guests want to make a donation to honor their wedding, to give their gift to a local clinic that performs abortions.

I do not condemn their choice of being pro-abortion, but to place that on their wedding invitation is beyond my belief.

I will not give to an abortion clinic (my choice).

I was planning on giving them a wedding check and will be upset if it goes to an abortion clinic.

What should I do?
