In the first letter, a woman shares her dismay after discovering that her sister had been sending disparaging text messages about her during their vacation. Experts advise her to prioritize her well-being and consider setting boundaries to protect herself from further emotional harm, including avoiding future trips with her sister.
The second letter presents a more complex situation. A couple contemplates whether to facilitate a connection between a man claiming to be a long-lost relative and his potential birth parent. The advice given is to approach the situation with sensitivity and respect, suggesting that the wife should reach out to her relative first to gently inform them of the DNA match and potential connection. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to pursue contact should be left to the relative in question.
