Dear Abby, it is said that she reacted excessively and that she had to apologize before the arrival of the little girl.

DEAR ABBY: My son was married eight months ago. He and I were close but had problems in the past. His bride left me on the wedding photos. It started at the bridal shower, when I noticed that she did not want me to be in the photos. Until then, I thought I was close to her. It was very hurtful.

They planned a wedding destination where only my brother and I were able to attend my son's family. It was a nine day cruise to the Bahamas. At the wedding dinner, I was not sitting with my son. His parents were sitting at the table with his parents' friends. I was very angry and left dinner.

The next day, I told my son that I was upset when I found out that I was excluded from his table. He said that I had reacted too much and that I was putting it back. The rest of the cruise was just fuzzy for me. I did not have fun and I was not included in any of the group's plans. I was later told that because I had reacted excessively, my son did not want to accommodate me. This has put our relationship to the test.

They are now waiting for a child and I am told that if I want to be part of my granddaughter's life, I have to apologize to my daughter-in-law and her family. What would you do? – PEEVED ON THE EAST COAST

DEAR PEEVED: If I wanted to be part of my granddaughter's life, I would apologize, although I can understand why you would have been upset that you and your brother were excluded from the table. honor at the first dinner.

However, if I did not want to be blackmailed, I kept quiet and I followed my path, spending time with people who treat me with kindness and respect – which apparently did not happen for this nightmare cruise.

CHER ABBY: I'm in high school and there's a boy I see at least an hour a day. About six months ago, I developed feelings for him. I've had a crush before, but nothing like it. It consumes everything. I had never thought of feeling that before meeting him. However, he has a girlfriend who seems to like him a lot and the feeling is obviously reciprocal.

Let's be clear: I do not try to separate them. I see that they are very happy together and I will never try to hinder that. I just feel trapped. I tried not to be around him. I tried to change class. Nothing works. I just want to know how to move from him. – Without help in high school

DEAR HELPLESS: It might be helpful to focus on the fact that spring has arrived, that the school year will be over very soon and that you may not be exposed to this boy every day at school. # 39; fall. In the meantime, stay busy. Concentrate on your studies, sports and social activities. The more people you meet, the more likely you are to find someone who is equally attractive and unattached.
