Daughter mourns sale of home sweet home
DEAR ABBY: I am in my 30s. I have not lived
at home for 10 years; however, my par-
ents sold the family home a fdw
months ago, and I got very depressed
when the sale became final.
My parents are in excellent health
and live nearby. I am grieving, but I
don’t know why. My brothers and sis
ters and I grew up in that house, and we
all feel a real sense of loss. Maybe I’m
having trouble getting used to the idea
that time marches on and that all good
things eventually end. Also, we’re not getting
together as often as we used to when we gath
ered at the house. Can you suggest anything that
will help me move along with my life? I want to
focus on positive things and not look back for
something that is gone.
GRIEVING FOR THE HOUSE
DEAR GRIEVING: The house was a symbol
of your childhood. Now that it is gone, in a
sense, so is your childhood. That may be a sad
thought, but dwell on the positive. You have the
rest of your life to live as an adult, with all the
guaranteed rights and privileges that go along
with it. If the family isn’t gathering as often as it
used to, consider starting new family traditions.
Perhaps it’s time for you and your siblings to
trade off hosting holiday celebrations. Look at it
this way: Nothing stays the same. Sometimes it
gets better and better.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 24-year-old mother of a
beautiful 5-year-old daughter, “Donna.” I was
married to her father for a year. When we
divorced. Donna and I relocated 600 miles away
to move in with my new boyfriend. A year later,
I realized that the relationship was going
nowhere, so Donna and I returned to our home
town.
Four months later, I met “Gary.” We’ve been

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(January 22). You accom
plish just what you set out to
this year! The next three
weeks are your energetic start.
Invitations are plentiful;
among them is one that leads
to better employment and
more money. Cancer or
Gemini help you come up
with a big money plan. This
spring features a move per
haps out of state. Your lucky
love signs are Taurus and
Cancer. Your lucky numbers
are: 10,49, 35,27 and 31.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Everybody has a different
meaning for success, but it’s
time for you to focus on your
own definition and not worry
about the opinions of others.
Do you love, and are you
loved? That is a great accom
plishment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Sometimes, it’s hard to turn
the other cheek and not retali
ate with anger. That kind of
quick-to-take-arms kind of
approach will only fuel the
fire. For peace of mind, take
extra time to connect with an
animal friend.

together for two years now. Gary loves Donna
and she loves him. However, he
I Jeanne Phillips
it’s too late to make things better for her. I don’t
want to give up dating for good, but I feel hatred
toward Gary every time I think about how easy it
would be for him to pack up and never see us
again. I hate the fact that I let this happen and
that there’s nothing I can do to change it. I love
Donna and would give my life for her, but I am
confused because if I didn’t have her, I would
have no problem with my relationship with
Gary. It just seems so unfair.
Will my daughter resent me for the selfish
decision I have made?
MIXED-UP MOM IN MISSISSIPPI
DEAR MOM: That remains to be seen. As it
stands, you have had a flash of insight about
your lifestyle and your responsibilities as a
mother.
The time has come to start thinking like a
mature adult. That means putting your daughter
first and not rushing into intimate relationships.
If I were you, I'd consider taking a sanity break
from men for a while. When you resume, do not
introduce your daughter to the people you’re dat
ing until you are sure they are sincere and honor
able.
P.S. Since Gary has no intention of guarantee
ing a stable future for you and your child, end
the relationship. This may seem harsh, but it will
be less painful in the long run.
Under the stars’gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) You may feel like you
have been holding back in
your relationship for fear of
being hurt again. It’s time
for major overhaul in your
attitude when you ask your
self, “When is the other
shoe going to drop?”
CANCER (June 22-July
22) Your instincts are
good, but don't push the
subject. If you force your
partner to talk before he or
she is ready, you both end
up saying things you do not
mean. Take responsibility
for your own feelings.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Focus on ways to live a
more fulfilled life. The
question, “What do I want
out of my life?” may seem
too philosophical, but the
answer has very practical
applications. True love is
waiting for you, but it won’t
wait forever.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). Walk away from a
heated discussion today,
even when your opponent
wants to keep stirring
things up. If you need time
to think, then take it. A sim
ple “I’ll get back to you in
one minute” will do the
trick.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You have all the resources
at your disposal to create
the love life of your dreams.
One valuable tool toward
getting who you want may
not be in the usual place
you go looking for help.
recently told me he has no intention
of marrying me. (And like an idiot, I
continue to let him spend the night.)
Donna cries when Gary and I
fight, and now I’m afraid that if I
leave him, Donna will have major
abandonment issues and not trust
men when she is older.
I know I am not being fair to my
daughter, and I worry about whether
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). A mighty oak tree is just
a seed that held its ground.
Don’t give in to peer pres
sure when you stand alone in
your singular opinion. It may
feel lonesome, but it will be
worth it when others see it
your way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Big ideas! Let
those gems fly, and don’t sit
on a single one of them. One
especially brilliant moment
leads to a promising new
source of revenue. However,
do pass on an investment
that sounds too good to be
true.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). Your response to an
afternoon event makes the
difference between being
seen as a winner or being
seen as someone who would
do what any average human
would do. Resolve to be
remarkable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You start with your
head, thinking about what
you want to do and weighing
the pros and cons before tak
ing any action. Double
check phone numbers,
addresses and the like before
trying to make contact.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Not making a decision
is sometimes the most detri
mental choice you can make.
Your career is simply not
going to get to the next level
without some serious hard
work. It’s time to face facts!
Make a plan.
