Letters |
Over the last few years, I've answered over a hundred problem letters covering every aspect of life. And with no space limitations, I don't have to shrink a person's whole experience down to a couple of short paragraphs -- as magazines and newspapers do. So I can publish letters giving all the details and history ... letters which retain all their individuality, letters which throw light on the full spectrum of human complexity and feelings.
Some of the replies are pretty long too -- because every letter and reply is going to resonate with some of you.
