Dear Abby Column: Interfering Exes and Comforting Loss
A reader asks how soon an ex should introduce new partners to their children aged 8 and 9 and whether a long delay risks teaching revolving-door relationships. Abby says the father should slow down and keep visits with the kids focused on father time, with occasional female company only as a friend. In another letter, a friend counsels a woman named Giselle, who remains heartbroken over an online relationship, to step back until she moves on, citing displaced anger. The final note offers condolence and suggests splitting cremains to honor the deceased while keeping some near the family.
