Deal with your mother's boorish behaviour in privateSubscriber
Q: I'm at a loss about my mother's boorish behaviour. She constantly makes insulting remarks to me about my fiancee and her family. I defend them, and also tell my fiancee, for which my mother's blasted me. My mother and aunt (a stroke victim) have never gotten along.

Q: A couple of years ago, a very traumatic, very public event happened to a family member of mine. As a family, we made the decision to pull together and didn't shatter. I can't say the same about most of my friendships.
I've never been one for large circles of friends, only tightly knit, small groups.
Low self-esteem and obsession warrant counsellingSubscriber
Q: I knew this guy through an online dating site, but felt he was too young and I was hung up on another guy. Last year I sent him a message on Facebook about how much I liked him. We texted and I learned he had a girlfriend. Weeks later, he texted (while drunk) that he'd broken up with his girlfriend and he's available.

Q: I've been in a yearlong relationship. But I've been thinking increasingly about returning to university for a graduate program, eventually a PhD. I'm in my early 20s. My girlfriend's in a similar program/field, aiming for grad school. We originally planned on moving in together, and I'd keep working while she's at school.
Search for a new love has to start at homeSubscriber
Q: I'm 45, but I look 35. I've been separated for a year after 14 years of marriage. Getting a date from attractive women has been an impossible nightmare. I'm only of average looks. Bars, clubs, and online dating were a waste of my time and money, with very little success.
Shunning causes resentmentSubscriber
Q: I'm a male, divorced seven years. My fiancee of one year, and her daughter, (late 20s) moved in this past summer. My children (mid 20s) usually live at their mother's residence, but due to circumstances she asked if they could spend almost a year at my house.
