Dear Queenie,
My parents are divorced and I live with my mother. My Dad got married again and has children with his new wife and I like the children okay but not their mother. She hardly talks to me and I get the idea that she doesn’t want me to see my father at all.
Queenie, how can Mom and I make things better?—Teenage daughter
Dear Daughter,
Talk to your father about this. Only he can make things better, if he will try. If he cannot, or will not try, you will just have to make the best of a bad situation.
