Asking Eric: Is it too much to ask my feuding children to cool it for the holidays?
Dear Eric: I have three adult children. About three years ago, there was an issue, and my oldest, Doug, and middle, Linda, disrespected each other. It wasn’t a small issue, but (in my and my wife’s opinion) it wasn’t a huge offense. Neither will apologize. They refuse to speak to each other.
