Alexandria, VA – Dear Dr. Amy,
My daughter is getting married in September, and what started as a family group text to coordinate wedding plans has become a source of stress. Someone is upset about the guest list. Someone else feels left out of a pre-wedding event. A joke didn’t land well. A text got interpreted the wrong way. At this point, every time my phone buzzes, I brace myself. Why does a family group chat seem to make everything worse?
Sincerely,…
