Dear Robin,
My parents divorced 3 years ago and both are once again driving me crazy regarding the holidays.
I am married with one child and my husband and I are hosting Christmas dinner this year which is great, except both my parents have told me they want to come but only if I can promise not to invite the other.
Dear Robin:
I recently found out that my lawyer was physically abusive towards her children. She assaulted her 16-year-old by biting her, very hard, on the arm. Apparently the daughter then punched my lawyer in the mouth and the two went at it in a brawl to end all brawls.
Dear Readers:
Today I finally address the letter I received from “Leah,” a woman with a difficult past who is dealing with a very flakey friend. Please enjoy!
Dear Robin:
I am a divorced mom with twins off to college in the fall.
My divorce was awful and I have tried for years to have a better relationship with my ex-husband. I have actually sent him things you have written about blended and reorganized families and how much healthier it is for everyone to get along.
