DEAR ANNIE: My oldest sister has five grown children. Four live out of town, and one lives with his mother. My sister has never been able to stand up for herself very well. The out-of-town children have been trying to get her money.
They have even somehow made the court send her a letter to appear for a 30-minute evaluation to see if she has dementia. My sister is fully functional and takes care of paying her bills, cleaning her home, cooking, etc. She’s not crazy or dysfunctional; she’s just who she is. The out-of-town children have put together a letter of character assassination against her other son and the rest of the family .
DEAR MISSING MOM: I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. I am glad that you found out this supposed friend’s true colors and cut ties, though I’m sorry you had to find out at such a trying time in your life. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for writing. “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?” is out now! Annie Lane’s second anthology -- featuring favorite columns on marriage, infidelity, communication and reconciliation -- is available as a paperback and ebook. Visit
