Dear Amy: I have been a journalist and author since my early 20s -- now retired and living in a gated community. After our last book group meeting, I got a call from our coordinator. (She’s a good friend but was unable to attend that meeting). She said, “Your friends are concerned about you because your behavior was erratic... and one member said you nearly drove her off the road recently. ”My reaction was, “Well, these women are not my friends. ...'

This is extremely hard to hear. Extremely. Your wounded and defensive reaction has created a smoke screen, where you have completely glossed over this potentially important information. What’s going on with you? You might propose that the group read and discuss Joan Didion’s important meditation on mourning: “The Year of Magical Thinking” .But please - do not withdraw from your friendships.The last time they visited was prior to COVID-19 restrictions.
My daughter overheard me and, of course, and was very offended. I apologized multiple times since for this and thought we were good, but I have been informed that they will not be staying with me when they visit.My daughter will not change her mind. How do I get past this and enjoy what time I am allowed?If she and the kids are staying nearby, then you won’t necessarily be missing out on too much.
