Advice columnist Amy Dickinson answers her readers’ questions in this December 28, 2022 edition of Ask Amy.
Inconsistencies in your brief account make me wonder if what you really seek from me is permission and encouragement to go home again.Before you embark on this journey, it would be helpful for you to imagine how it might have felt for your parents, siblings, and extended family members to lose you so completely when you — still a teenager — left home and then chose to stay away. This is a profound loss.
You claim to ask for addresses and phone numbers over social media. But you also say that you call your mother, so you do have at least one phone number. Go home. Plan an open-ended stay . Spend time with anyone who will see you. Knock on your folks’ door. Track down your siblings and cousins.
