Help! I Accidentally Got My Longtime Neighbor Evicted.

Dear Prudence is Slate’s advice column. Our house has a guest bedroom on the ground floor which we haven’t really used, and that way MIL could avoid potentially tripping on the stairs. —Not a Happy Camper Dear Camper, Maybe your MIL’s “I don’t want to intrude” is code for “I really want my independence.” In that case, is it worth talking to your husband about eating the HOA fines, adding needed improvements to the trailer, and preserving her dignity? —Great Aunt Dear Great Aunt, First, I think we need to draw out the subtext of your somewhat evasive letter, at least as I’m reading it: Your sister thinks prejudice is keeping her trans child from being included in this wedding, and she’s upset about it. I recently learned that before we were together, my fiancé incessantly messaged her office and wrote negative reviews, all because it didn’t support a therapy that very few doctors support—although apparently specialists to whom my aunt has referred people for other issues do support the therapy in question, which seems to be why my fiancé thought he could get things changed.
