Medical Notes

Dear Abby: 10 years into our marriage and it seems my wife has no interest in being interested in sex

She used to say her weight was the issue. But now, after weight loss surgery, she's even LESS interested.

Asking Eric: Is it fair of my brother to exclude Dad’s former gay partner from his funeral?

Their father came out as gay in 2000. Still, many family, friends may not know this about his life.

Dear Annie: Being needed isn’t the same as being valued

I do not want to become bitter or damage my relationships, but I am exhausted from always being the giver.

Dear Annie: My family expects me to drop everything for them but won’t help me

"I realized that my family may not see me as a person with needs of my own. They see me as the reliable one who will always say yes."
