Tough Talk,

I recently divorced my wife but on good terms.  We still help each other when we can and get along well.  I thought I got along with her children from her previous marriage but after her oldest got married, I sent her a gift and card which was returned no longer lives here, but in her own handwriting.  It’s not a big deal, but it hurts me because when she was little, we were very close.  Now I’m a complete stranger.  What should I do TT? (Beech, Montana)

Beecher,

You’ve got two options: call her or find her on the street and ask why is she being such a snot-nosed spoiled brat and force her to put the issue on the table.  Or you can just realize that children become adults and she is just a waste of time and cut your losses and move on.  Unfortunately, humans project hostilities onto those around them and they are too stupid to know this.  In other words, what does she have against you and what do you care?
