Dear Amy: A few years back, I discovered that I had fathered an adult child resulting from my being a sperm donor decades ago.
The child you raised might not have ever wanted “more family.” Now that they have more family, they will need time to adjust.When the pandemic first hit, two of my college friends and I started a group text. It was a true lifeline.
My friends both live alone, so these check-ins may feel important to them, but I find them incredibly irritating. I haven’t responded to the “good morning” messages in at least six months, but they still arrive every day. Irritations can sometimes be mitigated by reframing them into humor, especially if you can use the irritation to laugh at yourself.
