Dear Prudence | I Need My Best Friend to Give Me Some Space. Help!


Listen Later

On the final episode of Dear Prudence, Jenée is joined by Lonnae O’Neal – a senior writer for ESPN/Andscape and the author of the forthcoming book Bibb Country: Unearthing My Family Secrets of Land, Legacy and Lettuce.

Together, they’ll answer questions like: what do you do when your friends’ husband calls you his wife’s hot lookalike? Is it worth taking a self-esteem hit to attend your 10-year high school graduation? How do you break it to your clingy best friend that you need some alone time? And how do you handle your dad maybe-cheating on your hospitalized mom? 

And: Jenée offers up some parting words about what’s next for Dear Prudence. If you loved this show, she hopes you’ll check out How To! and Care & Feeding
