DEAR ABBY: Almost 50 years ago, I got a girl pregnant. She left the state and two years later sent me a letter and a picture of the cutest baby — mine. Her letter ripped me apart. I admit I was a terrible person and deserved everything she wrote.
DEAR ABBY: Somehow I became the go-to person for everyone in my family — siblings as well as parents. I have the means, and for decades, I have been happy to help.
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years, "Rick," is addicted to social media — mainly the women on there.
DEAR ABBY: After 35 years, I recently ran into my first love, "Cliff." His sister lost her son, and I went to the wake.
My husband died in a car accident 38 years ago. Until yesterday, I had never read his obituary. Our daughter and I were not mentioned in it!
DEAR ABBY: I have been with my wife, "Sandy," for 40 years. We married as soon as it became possible for us as a gay couple. While our relationship isn't perfect, we are deeply committed and I always assumed we shared the same values.
DEAR ABBY: Before we had children, my stepmother dropped many "hints" encouraging us to have kids, and promised multiple times that she would retire when we did to help out with them."
DEAR ABBY: I have been with my abusive husband for almost 30 years. I made several attempts to leave him, which resulted in him stalking me and threatening to seriously harm me and our children.
I'm a single parent raising five young kids alone. I own my home, have a good job and have done well financially. Five years ago, after several years of making bad financial decisions, my parents showed up on my doorstep.
DEAR ABBY: My grandmother and I have lived together for the past 22 years. She raised me from the age of 3.
