Dear Queenie,
I got divorced some time ago and now I have a new boyfriend, but my family doesn’t like him.
Queenie, should I stop having contact with them?—Concerned divorcee
Dear Divorcee,
No. People who get divorced should realise that their families also are sorry about the end of their marriage and need time to get over it and to get accustomed to any new relationship the divorcee develops. Give them the time they need and let them get acquainted with your new boyfriend gradually.
