DEAR ABBY: I have a daughter, "Molly," who is in her late 30s. Her father and I divorced when she was an infant, and I raised her, with help from my family, until I remarried. Her father had visitation and paid child support, but that's where it ended. Throughout Molly's life, I have taken care of all medical expenses, extracurricular activities, etc., and I sacrificed so she could have what she needed.

The problem I'm having is that she treats me badly, while her father, his family, her husband's family and members of my family are put on a pedestal. The disrespectful way she talks to me and her superior attitude have sent me into depression. She doesn't answer texts or return my phone calls unless she feels like it or wants something.

There's the possibility that I'll be coming into some money soon, and I have been thinking about changing my will and not leaving her anything. I am seeing a therapist to figure out why I can't tell her how much her words and actions hurt me. I love Molly very much, but I don't like her. Shouldn't she be the one in therapy to figure out why she treats me this way? -- MISTREATED MOM IN GEORGIA

I am so embarrassed to be writing this question but here it is: Since he was little, my 12-year-old son has picked his nose and eaten his boogers at least a few times a week. It’s a disgusting habit that my husband and I have tried to stop, but nothing works. Our son only does it at home, and I’m quite sure his friends have no idea or else they’d tease him mercilessly.

I don’t know what else to do. We’ve tried gross-flavored nail polish, punishment, grounding, everything, but our son still does it to comfort himself. I guess our only option now is to hope he grows out of it—I’m sure his future wife will hate it. Are there any other options we’re not thinking of? Could this be a sign of something actually wrong with him?
