Dear Abby Dad and friends spark strain of loneliness
Dear Abby offers sympathy for a Florida husband left unable to drive and isolated by distant children and a nearby stepdaughter who shows little time. Advice suggests senior centers and outreach to activities, not forcing relatives, while remaining open to social contact. The second letter concerns a friend who avoids paying her share with cash, urging the group to skip dinners with her if behavior persists. Abby advises not ending the friendship but choosing to dine separately.
