Dexter: Resurrection Recap: No Tomorrow

I thought the penultimate episode of this season might be about putting the pieces in place for an explosive finale, so I was admittedly caught off guard by the tragic ending. Also, as a person of Donnie Darko experience, playing Gary Jules's cover of "Mad World" over the credits is the easiest way to wring tears out of me - it almost feels like cheating. I can't really be mad, though.

Dear Abby: I suspect the other grandmother posted these horrible photos of me

After a recent gathering for my granddaughter's graduation, I am feeling depressed and upset. Unflattering pictures of me were taken during the event and later posted on social media. I wasn't asked, and I think it was done maliciously by the grandmother on the other side. She posted no candid pictures of herself, only ones that were planned and staged. I don't feel I can ask that they be taken down without causing a rift.

When Criticizing the Other Parent Is Harmful to Children

"Nichole" was 10 when I started seeing her at her school. The school counselor reported that Nicole was talking about wanting to "cut myself in half," prompting concern. During our first session, she reported that she lives with her mom during the week and visits her dad every other weekend. This is common for many kids whom I see, as we live in a time of many diverse examples of family and parenting. In therapy, she began to talk about feeling scared to mention her dad around her mom. When asked why, she shrugged and said, "Because it'll make her mad."

My Husband Wants to Leave His Business to My Entitled Stepsons. I Have to Change His Mind.

My first marriage left me a wealthy widow where we had several vacation homes but sadly no children. My second husband has two adult sons and a thriving business that is basically his third child. Despite us both being retired, he is still very involved in the business. Neither of his sons ever showed interest in taking over, so my husband has been approaching his lifelong employee, "Mike," to take over.
