Dear Abby: My adult daughter doesn’t want anything to do with me

Dear Abby provides guidance to readers facing diverse interpersonal challenges. One reader struggles to maintain relationships with an adult daughter and grandchildren, while another deals with a daughter who is critical and blames them for forgotten events. Another seeks advice regarding a daughter's unwelcoming, pet-filled home and the sufficiency of occasional calls. Additionally, Abby advises a reader to inquire why a friend attends funerals for strangers rather than judging the behavior or criticizing the friend.
