Ask Amy: A grieving daughter aggrieved by hungry mourners
Dear Amy: I overheard several people grumbling about no after-service meal being readied for the mourners. Why should the grieving party have to be sure that attendees eat afterward?

Ask Amy: Ex-husband asked me to stop contact with his family, but his mother keeps reaching out

Ask Amy: My daughter is cheating on her husband and I’m caught in the middle
Dear Amy: I know I’m going to be blamed for everything. I love my grandchildren very much and just don’t know what to do.
