My husband and I recently divorced. We have three beautiful children, the oldest 11. When I decided it was time for me to move on, I packed my bags and was ready to leave, when to my horror, my eldest decided to stay with his father. His father is a man who was never there, never changed diapers, and never took them to school, practice, appointments, or parties. He was the invisible father. The only good thing he did for us provided financially. I am so angry at my son that I don't want to...

A few years ago, I suffered several traumas within the space of a year. My father died, and my mother, out of grief, attempted suicide.

David Maddox has been waiting years for a refund for his Vantage Travel tour. Why hasn't the company responded, and is there anything he can do to speed up the process? Back in 2019, I made a reservation for my wife and myself to go on Vantage Travel's Croatia & Culinary Gems of the Adriatic Coast tour. Other members of our family were also planning to join us on this trip. I made the final payment of $20,655 for our trip in October 2019. As part of the cost of the trip, I paid $999 per person for a "cancel for any reason" travel insurance...

My friends, Nick and Elisabeth, are married but live separately. She's away at school, and he works here. They've been together eight years, married for three. To all appearances, their relationship is happy and healthy. Elisabeth is one of the most wonderful people I know. Nick is interesting and funny, but a bit sleazy, and I'm not nearly as close with him. Three years ago, Nick came on to me in a very physical way. I was shocked. He had always been flirtatious, but he flirts with everyone. I...
