Dear Annie: My best friend, "Sarah," and I have been close since college, but lately, our friendship feels one-sided. She's going through a rough time; she broke up with her boyfriend, she hates her job and she's been struggling with anxiety. I've been there for her every step of the way, listening to her vent, offering advice and checking in on her regularly. But when I need support, she's nowhere to be found. Last week, I had a really stressful situation at work and tried to talk to her about it.

Dear Annie: I'm struggling with something at work that's starting to affect not just my motivation but also my self-worth. My boss has taken credit for my work on several occasions. These aren't minor tasks; I'm talking about full-scale projects I've managed from start to finish, ideas I've brainstormed and developed, and presentations I've poured hours into. In team meetings or when speaking to senior leadership, he presents my work as his own, with no mention of my involvement.

Dear Annie: I have a close friend I care about a lot, but there's something that's starting to get under my skin - and I'm not sure if I should say something or let it slide.

Dear Annie: I have a close friend I care about a lot, but there’s something that’s starting to get under my skin – and I’m not sure if I should say something or let it slide. Whenever we go out – whether it’s lunch, drinks or concerts – we usually agree to split the cost. But somehow, I always end up paying more. She’s “forgotten her wallet,” says she’ll Venmo me later or offers to “get the next one,” which never really happens.

Dear Annie: My husband hasn’t heard a word from his mother in more than 20 years – not even after the deaths of two of her sons. She’s now 94, and we recently heard she’s still alive, still isolated, and still unwilling to speak to him or anyone else in the family. It breaks my heart. I remember the early years of our marriage – sending her birthday cards from our kids, calling on holidays, even driving hours just to drop off a homemade pie and say hello.

Dear Annie: My mom and I read your column every day, and we always find your advice thoughtful and compassionate. Lately, I've been thinking about something I witnessed years ago while working in a shelter for abused women. It's stayed with me - the way emotional abuse often begins so subtly, with little comments that chip away at someone's confidence, slowly isolating them from family and friends until they feel completely dependent and alone.

Dear Annie: My mom and I read your column every day, and we always find your advice thoughtful and compassionate. Lately, I've been thinking about something I witnessed years ago while working in a shelter for abused women. It's stayed with me -- the way emotional abuse often begins so subtly, with little comments that chip away at someone's confidence, slowly isolating them from family and friends until they feel completely dependent and alone. I worry my mom might be in a situation like that.
