Life was lived until 2019, when a pickup game of basketball with his son revealed the need for a new liver and a new kidney. During the game, a pain shot down his arm, and up his back. He shrugged it off on the court, but as the day went on, the pain grew stronger. When he got back to the house, he was almost in tears, the pain was so intense, Hanks said.
If you don’t want to confront them, you can simply back away. Stop visiting. Don’t contact them, and if you do respond, you could try saying: “I’ve never liked the way you’ve treated me. Now that I’m an adult, I’ve decided to back away.”

It seemed to me that she has a lot of anxiety around this issue, which, to my mind, is not off-base, and rather than being told to “breathe through the anxiety and live in the moment”, she could be given a proactive, practical piece of advice that could set her mind at ease so she could actually live in the moment without fear.

In Topeka, Indiana, a few miles from the Teaberry workshop, Elaine Jones smooths experienced hands over a blue-and-white field of patchwork stretched taut in a quilt frame. Jones, 62, hit on the idea of starting an endless quilting bee, where visitors can gather for an hour of stitching alongside Amish women who grew up with the craft. Visitors come for the chance to stitch (and for the homemade lunch) and soon realize they have much in common with the famously plain-living Amish, Jones said.
Dear Upset: These adults are your son’s children. Evidently your son didn’t get the family memo about how important it is to appropriately express gratitude for a gift.
