The world's full of victims and the world's full of terrible perpetrators and I want them identified and caught.

When my daughter left for college, I lost my in-house consultant to youth culture. There's just stuff I don't get. And there's something kind of pathetic about someone my age trying to pretend she gets it, so I don't try to pretend.

Children need adult men in their lives.

Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.

Setting up a college fund would be a great way to redirect the tangible evidence of Daddy's love.

An alcoholic 47-year-old woman with teenagers who thinks a guy in his mid-20s is a good prospect as a partner definitely has some judgment and character flaws.

I do feel haunted by some of the letters and the suffering people have endured. But I keep in mind that the people who write to me know that I am a journalist and an on-line advice columnist, not a social service professional.
