Dear Abby: I know all about my dad’s affair; what should I do? For the past few months, Mom has been gathering evidence so she can divorce him. Besides his hard work ethic, he has never been the father I wanted to have. What should I do to help my mom, and should I tell my siblings? Should I say something to her friend, in private, about how hurt my daughter’s feelings are? Hurt Feelings Dear Hurt Feelings: The person to explain Jamie’s feelings to her roommate should be Jamie. Whether they can remain close friends under these circumstances is questionable, but for the next year they will have to coexist as roommates. Dear Abby: I recently lost my mom to cancer, and my father has offered her engagement ring to me to propose to my longtime girlfriend. The ring used to belong to my grandmother and has a beautiful quality diamond in a yellow gold setting.
