Friendship between moms
ends over race for charity
DEAR ABBY: The
14-year-old son of a friend
of mine is having self
esteem issues and appar
ently is going through a
rough patch. Our family
likes to participate in chari
ty races. My boy, 13, is a
talented athlete who,
according to my friend, is
an "overachiever."
My friend signed her
family up for the same race
as our family, then called
me afterward to tell me she
was having anxiety issues
about us being there and
asked me to forgo the race.
(We had already paid for
four registrations.) She said
she could see my child tak
ing off, winning the race
and boasting to the point
where her child would feel
like a loser and have more
self-esteem issues.
Abby, although our chil
dren hung out together
when they were toddlers,
they haven't in years. I
tried to be sympathetic, but
told her we had been plan
ning to compete in this race
as a family for some time,
and I didn't think it would
be right to pull my child
out of something he loves
to do. She got very upset,
said some horrible things to
me and ended our friend
ship. Was I wrong not to
agree to do as she asked for
the sake of her child? —
ROUGH PATCH IN THE
WEST
DEAR ROUGH
PATCH: I don't think you
were wrong. While I sym
pathize with your former
friend, what she suggested
was not helpful for her
child, who might benefit
more from some sessions
with a therapist than a heli
copter mom trying to cush
ion life for him.
However, if there's any
truth to your friend's infer
ence that your son is not a
gracious winner, monitor
his behavior to make sure
he doesn’t come across as a
braggart. If you do, you'll
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
be doing him a favor.

DEAR ABBY: When I
was a teenager, I met a guy
I'll call "Jordan" at a col
lege summer program and
fell head over heels in love
with him. But the program
lasted only five weeks, and
we lived hours apart. We
decided from the beginning
that we wouldn't attempt a
long-distance relationship
and would simply enjoy the
time we had together.
That fall, my senior year,
I visited Boston to look at
colleges. I had made plans
to see him, but he blew me
off. Because I never got
closure, I was not able to
let him go emotionally.
During my sophomore
year of college, Jordan con
tacted me and asked if we
could meet. I refused
because I had just met
someone else, and didn't
want to jeopardize my new
relationship. I was with that
guy for five years and
almost married him. (Our
breakup had nothing to do
with Jordan.)
It is nearly a decade later,
and I have met someone I
could fall in love with. But
it seems that I'm still not
completely over Jordan.
Should I reach out to him
and try to get the closure I
need? — LEFT
HANGING ON THE
EAST COAST
DEAR LEFT
HANGING: Yes. After all
these years, it's time. And
when you do, tell him the
greatest gift he could give
you would be the gift of
closure. If he's a gentle
man, he will agree. And
when you get it, move for
ward and don't look back
