Ask the Doctors: Stroke patient may be overwhelmed by visits

Sep 13, 2024 | reflector.com | Janet Storm

Sense and Sensitivity: Mother-in-law makes hurtful comments

Sep 6, 2024 | reflector.com | Janet Storm

Q I’m a 28-year-old woman, and up until this year, I’ve never had any serious issues with my skin. However, seemingly out of nowhere, I developed cystic acne this year. I’ve become self-conscious, to the point where I sometimes dread going out in public or even seeing friends and family. What’s made this even harder to cope with is the way my mother-in-law has been treating me. She’s always been somewhat critical, but ever since my skin started breaking out, she’s been downright rude.

Q My husband and I have been married for about two years. We’re both already unhappy, and frankly we’d each have plenty of other options. What would you say to us before we split up? A First, the fact that you’re even asking the question, rather than just divorcing, is a good sign. I’d suggest you consider this: Two-thirds of unhappy couples who stay together say their relationship is significantly better within five years.
