Asking Eric

Dear Eric: We hardly ever see my son, daughter-in-law and 8-year-old grandson.

Dear Eric: My sister’s only son (and my only nephew) is incarcerated in another state and will remain so for many more years for sex crimes against a child.

Dear Eric: My youngest daughter, a pediatrician, got a divorce two years ago (her husband had been taking money from her practice and not telling her).

Dear Eric: I’m not close to my sister.

Dear Eric: I am 80 years old and have been married to the best possible wife for 33 years.

Dear Eric: I’m a 52-year-old divorced guy, no long-term steady relationship for a couple of years now, but for the last four months I have been dating an early-40s lady, “Marie”.

Dear Eric: My husband and I have been married for 11 years.

Dear Eric: I grew up in a hoarding house.

Dear Eric: My partner and I are closing in on our third anniversary, and as we begin to talk seriously about the prospect of marriage, I’ve found myself a bit troubled with a certain aspect of our relationship.

Dear Eric: In spite of my best intentions, I have unfortunately been a poor gift receiver as of late.
