Dear Amy: I have a very difficult and stressful relationship with my mother, and I don’t know what to do about it.I am 19 years old.

She hurt me over and over again. She put her maternal duties aside and wasn’t there for me.Finally, I had enough when she missed my high school graduation last year. She lied to me about why she had missed it (turns out she was at home the whole time).Related ArticlesAdvice | Ask Amy: I turned down the job because of the interviewer’s question (and the no-pants thing) Advice | Ask Amy: After all my work, she gave me $20.

Harriette Cole: When I got home, I saw he had read my journals and he was mad

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:05:32 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: I keep a journal. I have for decades. It’s the way that I get my emotions out and deal with my issues.In the past, any boyfriend I’ve had knew that my journals were off-limits. I trusted that nobody would look at them. Well, that changed recently.My relatively new boyfriend was at my house one afternoon when I wasn’t there. When I got home, I saw that he had gone through my journals. Worse, he confronted me about something he read in one of them. It wasn’t about him. It was about a previous relationship and some of the details of what went wrong.He read a particularly raw entry and got mad at me about the content. I immediately threw him out, telling him he had broken a confidence and it was over. To me, that was a clear violation of trust.I am unwilling to stop journaling in order to protect myself from his prying eyes, nor am I willing to talk to my boyfriend about my past relationships, so what else is left? That’s why I dumped him.He...

Beijing’s “friendship” with Moscow is “growing day by day,” China’s President Xi Jinping said ahead of his three-day trip to Russia, which kicked off Monday. In an op-ed, published in Russian in Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Sunday evening, Xi said he was traveling to Moscow to strengthen “friendship, cooperation and peace” and create “new prospects for Sino-Russia relations.” He continued: “Our two sides are implementing the concept of friendship passed down from generation to generation, and this traditional friendship is growing day by day.”Notably, though, the English-language version of Xi’s op-ed published by China’s state-run People’s Daily doesn’t mention the effusive “day-by-day” line, and more demurely says: “Our two sides have acted on the vision of lasting friendship and steadily strengthened our traditional friendship.”In his own synchronized opinion piece pub...
