Dear Queenie,
When my father died a relative I hadn’t seen in years came to the funeral and started scolding me for being a horrible son, talking about things that happened years ago that my father and I had settled between us long since and weren’t any of their business anyway.
Queenie, why do people do such hurtful things?—Grieving son
Dear Grieving son,
Some people have no sense of decorum or respect for others. The best thing to do is not let them upset you and ignore them with dignity. All they accomplish is to make themselves look bad.
