Dear Queenie
Have a relationship problem you just can’t seem to handle? Want some words of wisdom from someone who has probably lived on this planet much longer than most people you know and who has no problem giving her opinions about anything and everything?
You may not like or agree with what she has to say, but be assured Queenie definitely will have something to say! Despite what Queenie says in response to your question there are no promises or guarantees that her answers will help make your relationship better. Queenie is not a trained professional and her comments are meant only to provide another view such as you might receive from a trusted friend or an older relative and should never be considered as or take the place of professional counseling.

Okay, listen up. I won’t answer every question sent to me. A lot of your questions have been answered in past columns and all you have to do is read through the archived columns, find a problem similar to yours, and see how it was answered then. I don’t respond to questions from teens because I have difficulty remembering what I did last week much less when I was a teen which means I can’t relate to teen problems well enough to give any suggestions, good or bad. And, I don’t respond via email, so, if you submit your question and I choose to respond, I’ll do it here.
If I do respond, don’t expect me to tell you how much someone is mistreating you or sympathize with your situation if I think you’re acting the fool. I’ve lived a long time and have seen a lot of things and if there’s one thing I recognize, it’s that telling it like it is works well as far as facing and solving problems. Finally, this column is provided for entertainment only and opinions expressed should not take the place of professional counseling or legal advice.” – Queenie
