Dear Abby addresses a mother's heartache over her estrangement from her daughter, Charly, who she struggled to accept after coming out as a lesbian. Despite her apologies, Charly and her partner refuse to share a bed in the motherâs home, leading to tensions. Abby suggests staying in a hotel to maintain civility, emphasizing the need for compromise and communication. In another letter, a woman reflects on her new, healthy relationship after a troubled marriage, contemplating whether to embrace this new love, having found someone who respects her.
"When she came out as a lesbian, I wasn't very accepting and didn't handle it well. I have since apologized."
"If the three of you can decide to be civil with each other during a visit, tell your daughter you would be willing to stay in a hotel while you're there."
