DEAR ABBY: I used to
collect vintage dresses,
many of which I bought
online from retailers for
several hundred dollars
each. I reluctantly sold
some on consignment
after a breakup — you
know, “out with the old,
in with the new.” But I
kept ones that were beau
tiful works of vintage art.
A friend of mine (I’ll
call her “Gabbi”) likes to
sew, and I offered her one
of the dresses I’d been
hanging onto, to wear or
craft with. I wanted her to
turn it into something
meaningful for herself
instead of keeping it bur
ied in my closet.
Last weekend we had
lunch. When I asked her
how it fit or what she
planned to do with it, she
told me she had given it
to someone I don’t know
to sell on a clothing resale
site. I can’t help but feel
angry. I know I gifted it
to Gabbi, but I think what
she did was rude. If she
had asked me if it was
OK to give it away, I
would have asked for it
back.
How do I stop harbor
ing this feeling? Every
time I think of her now, I
get upset. The next day,
after our lunch, we went
to an estate sale and
Gabbi brought up this
other person again — “I
should have invited
‘Bethany’ so she could
find merch to resell.” I
think Gabbi is oblivious
about how she makes
other people feel. What
do you think? — TAKEN
ABACK IN ALABAMA
DEAR TAKEN
ABACK: You generously
tried to help Gabbi by
giving her the dress, but
unless you specified that
it was a collectable item
and if she couldn’t use it
you wanted it returned,
you shouldn’t blame her.
From my vantage point, it
seems Gabbi is generous
ly trying to help a friend
who needs to make some
money. I hope you will
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
let go of your disappoint
ment because if you
can’t, you may destroy a
valued relationship.
DEAR ABBY: Two
years ago, a couple of
months before my 41st
birthday, I found out that
the man who raised me
(I’ll call him “Norm”) is
not my biological father.
Norm is a wonderful, lov
ing father figure, who has
made clear that this
changes nothing between
us.
Because this discovery
was heartbreaking at first,
my parents decided not to
tell Norm’s parents or
siblings about it. Initially,
I supported their decision
because, after my biologi
cal father made it clear he
wanted nothing to do
with me, it made sense to
leave it alone. But now,
with my grandparents in
failing health, I feel they
should know. I just don’t
know if it would do more
harm than good at this
point. Please advise. —
THROWN IN KANSAS
DEAR THROWN:
What do you think you
will accomplish by telling
Norm’s parents at this
point? You have been
their grandchild for four
decades. Because their
health is precarious, they
may not need to hear any
thing that would upset
them. I vote for keeping
this “news” private, as
Norm and your mother
have requested.
