A woman wrote to Dear Abby seeking advice on her strained relationship with her sisters following the death of their mother. The woman was the primary caretaker for their mother, while her sisters were not in contact with her. After their mother passed away, one sister did not attend the funeral and the other arrived late and both attacked the woman. Feeling hurt and isolated, the woman cut off contact with her sisters and the rest of her family. Dear Abby advised her against approaching her sisters again and suggested focusing on deepening friendships with others.
In another letter, a person expressed concern about their friend who refused to become Facebook friends. When the issue was brought up, the friend got defensive and refused to discuss it. Dear Abby advised the writer to respect their friend’s need for privacy and decide how important the issue is to them before taking any action.
