Dear Candid Candace : My daughter is going through an acrimonious divorce. She and her soon-to-be ex-husband share two large huskies which they often allow to sleep in their bed. Now lawyers have been hired to mediate the custody of their dogs. I thought this was the stuff of crazy reality TV courtroom shows. I can’t believe my own child is now fighting over the dog. It’s affecting my respect for her as a grown woman. She has fallen from grace in my eyes. How do I get over my feeling of disappointment and still support her through this difficult time in her life? —Judgmental
Dear Judgmental : I am in complete accord with your daughter who loves animals, as I do. Frankly, I would’ve hired OJ Simpson’s Dream Team to fight this. Animals, to some people, are more like family than humans.
